On that ham site they seem to have only sent the balloon 5000 feet up, as opposed to 100,000 by these students.
However it does look like there are precedents.

that site is pretty interesting too. I think perhaps the cost involved here is probably the major improvement, but I'm guessing they probably just had to cross their fingers and hope the camera took some god shots.
i am no expert on this matter, but does this refer specifically to high grade waste like used uranium? or does it include contaminated clothes and such. I thought that some of the lower grade waste only took a few hundred years to lose it's radioactivity.
It should be noted that there are other uses for a tilt-shift lens. They've been around for a long time and used to be used more commonly to give the photographer more control over perspective and depth of field. We probably see the results of these lenses in use more often than we realize in architectural or landscape photography. Using them to achieve a shallow depth of field which simulates macro photography seems to have become popular only recently.
Seriously though, typing of the dead is pretty much the best game ever made. Aside from the fact that it doesn't matter if you don't press shift or spacebar it's about a thousand times better than mavis beacon.
it kind of takes the wow out of a story when it basically reads "world's strongest 68 year old is 68 years old"
