>> [BRENT SALMI] Well, we just launched our high-altitude balloon. It will rise up, it
will send back temperature data, location data, altitude. We will be able to track it
live from the Internet and through our radio system. We can remotely command it to do certain
things, like send it to a position that is more, or go into different modes. Hopefully
we will recover it in the next day or two. Somewhere out near the Finger Lakes, southeast of here.

>> This is cool. Do you ever wonder how high up the clouds are? Well, probably around a mile.
