757 Labs in Space;

 >I still have your binoculars.
     Oh yea, I plum forgot about 'em by now, thanks!  However, I did 
get a pair of Binoculars with a built-in camera that I could bring to 
the next launch; might also be useful for the tracking & recovery 
team if it gets stuck in a tree and they can't immediately retrieve it.


 >although I think party gas would do fine probably.
     I have read that Party Gas is often not 100% pure Helium, just 
enough to work in party balloons, so we wouldn't achieve maximum 
altitude; beside it's more expensive to buy it that way.

 >For those that weren't there, it was a rush like no other chasing 
the thing and getting it.
     Yes it was a blast!  But we decided that we would all take on 
different roles next time, I'm willing to take the lead on science 
experiments that we carry (think small, light, and doesn't interfere 
with anything else.)

 >I think they send a HD video camera up on one of their most recents.
     I have a brand new, unused video camera that I'd can donate to 
the project.


     Good Luck!
