iPhone Launched Into Space Delivers Marriage Proposal [Video]

Video director Jason Hakala and two of his friends launched an iPhone into space to honor the 50-year anniversary of John Glenn's orbit of the earth and propose to his girlfriend.

Three space enthusiasts, inspired by the 50-year anniversary of John Glenn's orbit of the earth, launched a weather balloon with a message to the entire world: Now is the time for us to go back into space. Constructed largely of PVC pipe and attached with two GoPro cameras aimed at an iPhone - playing a looping video-collage of quotes and images from man's stunted odyssey to the stars - their DIY message-in-a-bottle-from-space has had at least one receptive audience member: the director's girlfriend. Watch the main video to get inspired by their message, and watch their behind the scenes video to see what may be the first marriage proposal from space.
