We want audiences to understand the insane versatility of GoPro cameras, from baby walkers (see our Baby Dub Step Super Bowl commercial from last year) to outer space. We want them to experience the Stratos event again, for the first time, through our video story, and with the out-of-this-world imagery that only a GoPro can deliver."Check the full video out here:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEsIMp67pyM&feature=share&list=UUqhnX4jA0A5paNd1v-zEysw&index=1
