A Raspberry Pi computer has boldly gone where no other Pi has gone before. High-altitude ballooning enthusiast Dave Akerman tethered one, complete with a webcam to photograph its progress, to a helium balloon. The bare-bones computer managed to reach an altitude of almost 25 miles (40km) before the balloon popped and it returned to Earth. The Pi sent live images throughout the flight and was safely retrieved by tracking its onboard radio transmitter.
