Here are some fun fact's I have learned about this morning's balloon launch at Science Central. Those two balloons (see this morning's pictures) soared to a height of 102,723 feet, a personal record for my son who had never gotten one above 100,000 feet before. When I asked how they retrieve the information for the campers' experiments he explained that "the numbers are through a GPS unit and other instruments that get sent down through a satellite. We have to wait until we recover the cameras to get the pictures." So now you know what I know. For more information you can check out the WANE website.
