  • stupid balloon covered the marshmallows

  • That happens. It's just another reason to launch again.

    Onwards and Upwards

  • Perhaps more important is the lower air pressure. As we approach a vacuum, sound has a greater difficulty being transmitted.

  • The red vial was a test to see if we could see boiling in near space. However, the shaking is too great to see that kind of detail.

    The beeper is a locating beacon. Some times we recover in fields where the near spacecraft can't be seen.

  • I wonder whether the camera survived the fall. Could anybody clarify?

  • Everythings on a parachute.  As the capsules get lower the parachute becomes more effective. The touchdown s quite gentle.

  • Everytime I see these launches, I imagine myself holding on to the balloon for dear life. Scary O_o

  • what song is that?

  • Important lessons learned:

    1. Chips burst at 15k feet,

    2. The propogation of sound changed exponentially every thousand feet due to atmospheric density.

    3.Mystery red fluid was boiling at 70k feet.

    4. Red balloons pop at 56k feet.

    5. Yellow balloons pop at 60K feet.

    Findings:

    Yellow balloons are certainly superior.

  • I did'nt like that sound after the ballon burst at the end is sounded like people screaming for their lives! ahhhhhh freaky!

    But great footage anyway! :)

  • very good.

    Salutations from Spain.

  • yeah but dude we have a shitload of atmosphere. You'd have to get well away from Earth before you stop registering air.

    it'd be a lot harder for sound to travel up there though, definitely :)

  • you can barely hear de beeb when its at 85.000 ft because its nearly space and in space you can't hear sounds because there is no material, like (H2O) for example, that lets the sound wave travel. thats cool!

  • That was cool!

  • SHIT'S FUCKING INSANE

  • the ballon needs to be huge so it can stretch more for higher goals. 100k!
