#2 In the mid-sixties, our middle school Model Rocket Club had one of the Estes models with a small camera in the second stage nosecone. When the stage ejected the nose, the camera was triggered by the chute deployment and took a single photo on a small negative. As we had a darkroom at school (with all those nifty chemicals that they actually let us use!), we could all look at the photo later the same day. It was a great learning experience and pretty cool for a 12-14 year old.

Our High School R/C club still had vacuum tube transmitters & receivers for the rather large Aero and Sopwith models we flew. Any one of them could probably have housed and carried a Pentax 35mm or B&H 8mm if we wanted, but developing the 8mm would have been pretty expensive, even had we pooled our paper delivery money. Advancing the film of the 35mm would have been problematic too, as no $$ for motor drives.

We would have loved and utilized the heck out of the digital age, had we known.

These guys are certainly not doing anything new.
