What I want to do

Share @mathew, Mathew Lippincott and 2015 Public Lab Barnraising team's preparation and then launch of solar balloon. I also want to point to @nshapiro, Nick Shapiro's indoor solar balloon session.

Our attempt and results

This event was reported in The Barnraiser, but additional detail of the preparation and launch are provided in the following videos and photos.
