I would really like to do something like this and be able to send a Balloon into space with a video camera attached to it. I know this is not very expensive, and was wondering if there was any detailed information on the process to obtain such an adventure.

Thanks.

+1 for the cool video, but I don't imagine it's much more complicated than they describe there. Get a large-ish balloon, fill it with helium, hang a few pounds worth of payload off it, and away you go! Do you have a more specific question, e.g. How to get the cameras to work? What transmitter did they use?, etc..

Plenty of people have done this, and some have detailed exactly what they have done and how. Check out the Icarus project for instance.
