[22:31] <ibanezmatt13> daveake: I spoke to Steve and organised the launch. He said I need a 4ft rocketman chute which is not cheap but he said we could borrow it
[22:31] <daveake> cool
[22:31] <ibanezmatt13> Target = 33km
[22:31] <ibanezmatt13> When shall I put an announcement on the mailing list?
[22:33] <Survivor> Hey guys.. I was looking for some baseline requirements for a hot air balloon.. can you guys help me?
[22:33] <daveake> wrong conf
[22:34] <daveake> er
[22:34] <daveake> channel
[22:34] <ibanezmatt13> hot?
[22:34] <Survivor> its the high altitude channel
[22:34] <daveake> h2 gone wrong
[22:34] <ibanezmatt13> lol
[22:34] <daveake> hot air balloons probably have their own channel
[22:34] <daveake> #lowaltitude or something
[22:35] <fsphil> hot air balloons don't normally get that high up
[22:35] bertrik (~quassel@rockbox/developer/bertrik) left irc: Read error: Operation timed out
[22:35] <fsphil> still interesting though
[22:35] <ibanezmatt13> made me laugh
[22:35] <ibanezmatt13> #lowaltitude
[22:35] <daveake> ibanezmatt13 Announce when you're reasonably sure of launching
[22:36] <ibanezmatt13> we'r sure
[22:36] <daveake> Say 4-7 days before
[22:36] <daveake> You need to see the predictions first
[22:36] Survivor (822b982a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.130.43.152.42) left #highaltitude.
[22:36] <daveake> Didn't survive long
[22:36] <ibanezmatt13> Survivor has decended
[22:36] <fsphil> we should have a lower limit?
[22:36] <fsphil> 5km?
[22:36] <daveake> Well picos struggle with that
[22:36] <fsphil> true
[22:37] <cyclops> ping Upu
[22:37] Survivor (822b982a@gateway/web/freenode/ip.130.43.152.42) joined #highaltitude.
[22:37] <ibanezmatt13> He's alive!
[22:37] <Survivor> there is no channel named lowaltitude
[22:38] <daveake> No it was just a guess
[22:38] <Survivor> can you guys help me with baseline requirements for a hot air balloon?
[22:38] <daveake> Nope
[22:38] <fsphil> unlikely
[22:38] <daveake> We do helium and hydrogen here
[22:38] <daveake> Not the same *at all*
[22:38] <fsphil> or rockets
[22:38] <daveake> and rockets
[22:39] <Survivor> ahan
[22:39] <Survivor> I see
[22:39] <daveake> Is this for a theoritical hot air balloon?
[22:39] <Survivor> so what requirements do you guys have for a helium balloon?
[22:39] <Survivor> yea theoritical
[22:39] <daveake> go up come down
[22:39] <Survivor> -_-
[22:39] <fsphil> don't go on fire
[22:39] <fsphil> turn into a sperm whale
[22:39] <daveake> or a bowl of petunias
