Update

Hi everyone! I'm just giving you guys a short update on some of the decisions we've made. We're going to be launching the balloon on May 2nd, 2015 at Hudson Mills Metropark, Michigan (note: this is not a public launch). According to the 10-day forecast, the weather on launch day is mostly cloudy. For each balloon, we are sending up some experiments in ping pong balls. The boys are putting seeds on the outside of the gondola and planting them when the balloon lands, testing radiation/humidity, and are putting the ingredients for ice cream in a ping poll ball and seeing when the cold turns it into ice cream. I will include details about the girls experiments in my next update. 10 days!
