Re: Newbie with questions



Is this thread getting out of hand, or out of this world?

The biggest problem, as I see it, is having nothing to be seen in any 
pictures taken this way other than a group of very distant, upturned 
faces, surrounding a scorched spot on the ground.  The biggest 
advantage to taking such a picture would be to be able to say, "Look 
what I was able to get by strapping a <insert solution here> onto a 
rocket and shooting it up in the air."  

Other than showing the cleverness of the contributors, I think 
it unlikely to get any better responses than George's:  It just isn't 
practical. (paraphrase).   Now if one were to send the rocket into 
airspace where there was something worth seeing, and where a plane or 
helicopter couldn't reach.....
