It has been on my "to-do" list for months to gather photos from GPSL 2011 and create a web page. If you have any photos that you would like included, please...
This is very awesome Mark! Well Done!! I assume the latest most recent is the image with the highest number? Joe WB9SBD The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle...
The files are listed by forecast hour - higher numbers are farther into the future. The *.240.png files are valid 240 hours (10 days) in the future. The valid...

From the spherical aberration, it also seems to have been filmed using a GoPro Hero DVR, which also survived nicely. 73 es HNY de Mike W5VSI ... -- Mike Manes...
Unless someone else really wants this, I'd be more than happy to get in touch with them to find out about what they want to do... there may be some regulatory...
The second video is funny, shows very clearly the differences of "G" Forces landing on dirt vs concrete. Joe WB9SBD The Original Rolling Ball Clock Idle Tyme ...
An observation that I made from watching the video... it looks like the iPad turned the whole assembly into a "maple seed" recovery device. We may not have...
I'd agree, David. The rigging for the iPad and cameras did seem to favor the fall. However - as an advertisement it's still terrific. It makes me think they ...
I'm interested in finding out what they want to do to. I've bought safety glasses from them in the past. Paul On Jan 7, 2012 12:54 AM, "edgeresearchlab"...
I'm interested in seeing their misunderstanding of space corrected. They need to be talking to a rocket company if they want to get anywhere near to space! ...
I think as a whole, its time to stop using the pseudoscience fallacy that 'balloons go to near-space'. They don't. The public needs all the real science info...
Hmm.. I'm not sure if I agree or not. In any case, I am not sure that looking at the linear distance and saying "balloons are only 42% of the way there" is the...
I agree with Ben on this one. Distance wise it may not be close to space. but environment wise it is way closer to space for sure. Joe WB9SBD The Original...
Managed to reply just to Dan earlier. Basically, what Steve wants to do is fly a laser and shine it down at a camera on the ground. I am aware of (and agree...
As someone that has played with some medium powered lasers. I can not see this ever having a chance at all in working. We were playing with a medium power...
Joe: Completely agree with your opinion... was planning on recommending a similar test prior to flying. (If we decide to fly) Help me understand: were you...
We were looking for either, we had about a dozen people on both ends watching with scopes, binoculars naked eyes, and others watching the sheets to see it it...
Interesting... I have the divergence, wavelength, and power specs now, so will be running the numbers on theoretical visibility when I get back home. I woild...
You can actually see the beams of the green lasers. A lot of people use them for pointing out stars at night. You see a nice green line from them. Some...
Thats what the ones we were using were, Green except they we ummmm "Imported" ummmm, via a suitcase of someone coming back from in Asia someplace. We could...
The first thing that entered my mind when I saw the email was a touchless flight termination system... point the laser at the envelope, and when you're ready...
Now that I Like and never thought of that. The only thing is I wonder how well it would work. because of the balloons at near max altitude would be almost...
Hi Dan, Although I can't disagree with your reference to the relative altitudes, I think the "near space" notion applies more to the ambient conditions, where ...
I thought the whole point of calling it "near space" was to distinguish it from "outer space". Yep, amateur balloons don't go to outer space. I don't see a...
