    Call the fire department! My house just got torched by a.. it was a bird... it was a plane... no it was a dumb student who stuck a burning candle in a balloon and sent it on its merry way.

    I used to send my hampster up in those things when I was 16.



    Made from crepe paper, filled them up with hot air from a stovepipe 'elbow' set on edge, burning newsprint, they'd go about 1/2 mile before coming down.



    They burn really easy though.

    Did the hamster survive?



    The crazy thing about that site is they are launching from Central Park... I can imagine how happy the Dept of Motherland Security is with that.

    What with dirt-cheap webcams and transmitters.... some very intersesting aerial photography and video could be done.



    I shall not suggest locations of course... that is up to the imagination of the reader!

    no wonder you've felt the need to repent in later years.



    Im suprised these devices can lift a payload, Thats good, as there are a few things i might want to send on a journey. Magnesium powder for instance.
