[757labs] [757labs_inspace] Hackerspaces in Space: Year 2

[Trevor Lewis]

That second link is awesome. I would like to build a Thermal Test Chamber (
http://www.sas.org/tcs/weeklyIssues_2008/2008-02-01/project2/index.html) to
test if when/if Makerbot printed components will fail. With a relatively
small amount of stuff they were able to get temperatures down to ~-60C,
which is perfect.

I wonder if there is a way to mount a camera on top of the balloon... I
would love to see the balloon shoot through the clouds. :)
