Hasselblad got shedloads of free advertising from the moon missions so I wonder if the makers of the camera are savvy enough to cash in on this?

I wouldn't be too keen hooking up my D300s to a baloon and releasing it and then let it fall back to earth once the baloon pops! As Christine has said, it would be a really interesting conversation with the insurance company - "hello, I would like to claim for my camera getting damaged....
"how did your camera get damaged sir?"............
"I hooked it up to a baloon and relased it in to space and then let it fall back down"!

Better get a point and shoot.....!

I think the idea is to just send the camera up Chris. Not the wife too

These idiotic price claims get on my nerves.
When the MIT guys did it:
The $150 Edge-of-Space Camera: MIT Students Beat NASA On Beer-Money Budget

Now they compare budgets...

Like its the same thing.

Stupid sound bite media...
