Our budget does not allow for rockets, so we're doing balloons. :p

Not quite as exciting as a rocket launch, but still cool that it's happening from here.

Managed to get a pic of today's launch, working from home so couldn't really be out all that long or setup anything to hold camera more steady so pic is blurry.
