Daily Mail : Two PhD students in the UK, Alex Baker and Chris Rose, have produced some amazing photos of Earth, taken with a $70 HD video camera stuck into a Styrofoam box with gaffer tape and floated 23 miles into the atmosphere on a helium balloon. The students, both studying mechanical engineering at the University of Sheffield, wanted to complete their mini-space exploration as cheaply as possible to inspire others to follow suit.
