Highest altitude TB? I think so...

[Papa Bear_Left]

Richard Garriott, better known as Lord British, author of the Ultima series of computer games, paid a LOT of money to visit the International Space Station recently.

And he left a Travel Bug behind! (This one)

So, if you happen to be passing the ISS, about 350km above the Earth, have a look at panel 218 in the Russian Segment Service Module. There's a TB tag attached to it...

<writes 218 on the back of his hand so as not to forget>

There was also an Astrolabe geocoin that went into space on the Space Shuttle Atlantis earlier this year. I would hate to think as to the cost to get those trackables there.

Wow
That will be one to watch and watch and watch

[MADSTARS]

This is truly unbelievable....

Some people have too much money....

Thank god it was a Geocacher...lol

So what about when a TB gets launched on a probe heading out of the solar system, I don't think "highest" can be counted unless it's phycially connected

Well, Im now one of 26 people watching that bug.

Well, this is at least quite findable... All you have to do is either become an astronaut or cosmonaut and get sent there, or stump up the 24-30 million bucks to go as a passenger.

C'mon, ideology guys! This could be your best. FTF. EVER!

With the Chinese, Indians and possibly others putting things into orbit it might get cheaper soon

Also just because it seems difficult it doesn't make it impossible, they could figure out a way round the speed of light sooner or later

Thank god it was a Geocacher...lol

Not exactly the KEENEST geocacher, based on his profile

If you're going to go to the trouble of putting a TB on a space station, you would think that you woud at least add some photos to the listing, to make it look a tad more interesting.

Lot's of photos... I like a pretty listing... [:D]

[crane2]

I agree. That was the first thing I was looking for - a couple of photos of the TB. Maybe another Geocacher put him up to it or he has another cacher id??? Still a great idea though.

He may not be that keen, but his one hide looks like a challenge. Still waiting to be found after more than 5 years.

Well this is why I like geocaching, to help point out areas I didn't know about or overlooked whilst passing

[Richary]

But it's not in the hands of the owner like it claims. Who wants to list the ISS as the world's (or out of it) biggest cache container? Then we can see where the TB is.

Of course the coords could be a problem. Now at 34S 150E, altitude 350km. Sorry, you missed it, that was a minute ago.
