Re: Low tech

Other issues to worry about include G force at launch and vibration during flight. To say nothing of entering/leaving a condensing atmospheric condition and temperature extremes. Static electricity is also a problem. Etc. Not something I plan on reverse engineering anytime soon.

Tempted NOT to post this as someone may take it the wrong way, and ban the activities I'm about to mention. Or use said activities to harm others (in whatever way this is done, it is wrong!).

There's lots of people who build "model" rockets capable of reaching the upper atmosphere, perhaps even escaping the atmosphere (not gravity, but they probably could achieve this). Lots of footage on YT etc. The Apollo "computers" must have been much more sensitive to knocks and vapours. The tech isn't hard and I've figured out several ways to protect electronics from such things, though most of the cameras I've seen launched seem to be stock, no mods to protect them.
