RE: The Global Space Balloon Challenge: California Institute of Technology's Flight to Near Space
Wow! that is super cool...
Any plans at another attempt? I'm a licensed Amateur radio operator, so I could add APRS tracking this time...
I would REALLY like to do another attempt and haven't yet due to funds. I was hoping this post would titillate the scientific community on steemit enough to at least buy the balloon. i mean....this is out of this world.....
Do you still have (or have access to) Any of the equipment? This seems like an awesome project
"Steem in (near)Space!!!!!!!!"
I'd bet we can write up a few more posts and get this thing funded...
Ill bring the tin foil hat for safety!!! :D
Great minds think alike. No one would have a thing on Socalsteemit in space. Helium tank rental is most costly investment... im sure we can work out GPS system
I have a K size tank (240Cuft?)... I m sure we can work something out with Matheson... (if im empty or close, we just swap it for a Helium tank)
And we have a Garmin Inreach. I would want a replacement fund in place before we send that to space, but...
Hydrogen is easy to make...
