Activision And MoreConsole Launch A Destiny Traveler Sphere Replica Into Space
With Destiny just a few days away, Activision and YouTube personality (and Destiny fan) MoreConsole embarked on a project to celebrate the game. MoreConsole enlisted the help of a team to construct a weather balloon to launch a replica of Destiny’s Traveler sphere into space.
The video below shows some of the preparation for the launch, along with footage from the atmosphere. The idea is to recreate the view that the fictional Traveler had as it approached the Earth.
The footage caps out at 107,841 feet, with a gorgeous view of our planet (above). Destiny will be out on September 9 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
