No, the father and son were not on their homemade spacecraft, they put a video camer on it to record the journey and an iPhone so they could use the cell-GPS to locate the camera when it returned to earth.
If it a great example of the fun, homemade science projects you can create. A little imagination and some help from parents can get you your own images of space. And the trip up and back.
Enjoy the video. For my 3rd-5th graders, does it inspire you in any way for your own Science Fair project?

I can't believe it's a launch in August! That's the month of my brother's birthday!
That's really cool! But I wouldn't do it for the science fair.. I don' t have an iphone, a parachute or a gigantic space balloon. I've already planned on doing an automatic (not completely) dog washer. Its not electric.
Amazing. It shows what a such a simple thing can be a big thing. Lastly, Luke, show that video to NASA they will probably use it.
