Hackerspace Charlotte have launched their first balloon and sadly they
are having some problems. Slow descent rates and high low altitude winds
are creating quite a drive for them and hopefully will not result in a
balloon in the water. Follow along at home if you have the time and keep
your fingers crossed for them.

Matt,
Thanks for the head's up. Looks like they went about 200 miles to
catch it. Any news on the recovery and/or what kind of payload data
gathering they had?

P.S. This is of particular interest as one of our ex-members Chris T. is
now part of their hacker space. Just as "Steeler Nation" is everywhere,
so is HackPittsburgh. Once a member...
