I heard that the guy who figured it out got a free balloon ride from Evony.
It is all built! I'm excited for launch in spring as I missed the window as customs held key components, and unfortunately broke my foot although I should be walking by December! When the time is close I'll make more noise. It'll be some fun to interact with.
Thailin are you saying launch will be in the Spring 2013, or when your foot is better in December, lol. Sorry, just a bit confused with your message. Thank you.
Springtime in Australia, which will still be December. That's where the craft is at.
Still fuzzy on the idea of why it's exciting??
:dizzy:
Oh, and a sidenote.... December is the start of Summer in Australia, not Spring
Good question, although what is exciting to one person is dull to another.
Warning: NERD ALERT.
Still,a few reasons why I am excited is that I believe it will be the first MMO that will be actually live and playing in near space, the image of it being played as well as the background of the earth's curve to me will be amazing to see. There's other goodies happening as well, and I had a lot of fun working out the challenge of being able to operate an online game from space that will also be fully tracked and transmit messages to players.
It's just something fun and interesting to do.
Not sure if serious... or if joking
How's that saying go...?
"Fool me once....
This idea reminds me of a video I saw several months ago about a father and son who sent and iPhone up into "space" with some sort of balloon and had the iPhone record the whole journey. When the balloon popped, the iPhone safely fell back to the ground. The video of it was pretty cool. Hope to see pics/videos from you, Thalin, when your craft launches :)

You could have sent it up with the Austrian guy and broke the sound barrier at the same time lol...dont forget to attach a lead weight a grab the worlds fastest travelling laptop from space award too :P
