How much would it cost in Brazil? Perhaps we should raise money on the site to send a Hubski logo to space?

Symbols such as *, +, |, and ~ can be used literally by placed a \ in front of the text.

A user's name surrounded by at signs (@) links to their profile, and the user is notified that you mentioned them.

A word surrounded by hash signs (#) becomes a tag and links to posts with that tag.

Oh, oh: these guys made it with $150.

This would be logistically difficult. You'd have, maybe, to attach a transparent glass to the camera and stick the hubski logo on it, so you'd get both Outer Space and the logo in the shot. However, the article cites low temperatures as a problem. I think the glass would probably break before we got a good shot.

To do it here, I'd have to get in contact with the Air Force. Apparently, you can't just send out weather balloons at your leisure.

I'm willing to discuss this further.
