Yup, that really is a TV in space, for real.&nbsp;Joe Connor has conjured this remarkable video for Kelvin Jones&#39;s heartwarming song Call You Home,&nbsp;by sending a vintage Sony TV&nbsp;into orbit on a special balloon provided by Sent Into Space,&nbsp;surrounded by GoPros so as to capture this spectacular&nbsp;footage of Jones&#39; performance hovering above the Big Blue Marble itself.&nbsp;More precisely, it took two launches - both from Snowdonia in Wales,&nbsp;with two identical TVs, with&nbsp;each launch providing the opportunity to rig the&nbsp;GoPros&nbsp;in different positions.It does, in fact, look so impressive that you may think it&#39;s was done with greenscreen and FX.
