Subject: Near Space Science - was They just don't get it!

I think you have a good project, and cannot understand why all these "movers and shakers" of RRAP keep poo-pooing the idea. Maybe they are paper tigers, code-tape Extra's, or just plain old windbags themselves. Anyway, you have several of them in your backyard and I haven't seen a single one throw in with you yet (but then I haven't read all of the blabbering). Speaks volumes. What speaks volumes is that you, Brain, in one breath make an accusatory statement, then immediately excuse yourself with ..."(but then I haven't read all of the blabbering)". My best advice is to associate the project with a Scouting Troop/Venture Crew, or H.S. honors science class, etc, find a handful of sponsors (easier when you have the scouting affiliation), and find some motivated no-code Techs who aren't afraid of a challenge, or maybe don't know enough to get out of the way. A good idea, Brian. I've made a few presentations on other subjects with the scouts, and it has been a lot of fun. Started off strong, reasonable suggestions, followed up with sleights and insults. FWIW, the military has standing orders to assist the Scouts wherever they can. That I did not know. As they do for Civil Air Patrol, JROTC, ROTC, and a handful of other civic minded programs. They might be helpful in many ways, from lodging to launch location to weather support. You could make a request to the Air Force Weather Agency to have a Support Assistance Request (SAR) in place to run the trajectory model and predict the final resting place of your package (you supply launch time and ascent/descent rates), preposition your recovery team in that vicinity, then adjust as real-world conditions dictate. This is a gold mine of a post, Brian. Thanks much! It would have been had he been able to start it off without being insulting and demonstrating his arrogance. He cudda been a contender. He had to be condescending, instead. 73 Steve, K4YZ |
