Photo for the edge of space on a balloon

G'Day All
Last night news (NBN Newcastle ) some bloke in England fix a digital camera to weather balloon on very long bit of string and let go up into the edge of space taking photos as it was going up . NASA have as this bloke for his photo and is examining them .The camera took shots of the surrounding English side then to the edge of space!!!!!!!!
Has anyone else seen this news clip I would like to know how he retrieve the the string it would have to been about 60 thousand feet or better ,and how he miss any aircraft from running into it ,as England has one of the most crowed air space in the world
