    That was REALLY cool!  Now what they need is to put wings on it and let it fly home.

    Very cool that he included his kids. Brings a whole new level to show-and-tell!

    Was a great first attempt ... for the next flight they need to work on stabilizing the craft as the actual video of the surroundings was a bit of a let down. And maybe they could work on getting more altitude, maybe 2 or 3 balloons with less helium, would give the same lift but more time before the balloon burst. Hey think he had the KID's climb the tree to get the package ... I wondered how they got package out of the tree it was stuck in ?
