Orange County Drops- TREEEEEE!


It's a chilly day in Hillsborough, NC and we're going to ramp up our drop testing to see if our chute works and if everything gets crunched. We've got everything up and running and Dan has made an official new version of the hull.





This is the first time we've laid out the payload train to tie it all together. This is going to be an important part of getting everything back safely.



Of course, we don't want to send all of our expensive electronics plummeting down to pavement without first making sure that they will be cushioned. So...we've opted to start out with weights and local, free range, grass fed, vegan, space, eggs.



Up on the roooooooof.




Godspeed Space Eggs.





We tried to kill Jimmy with the space weights but the show must go on. Tape it! Tape it! Tape it!
