Spirit of Knoxville II
 

For anyone who's interested, there's a great set of photos of the last
launch at http://www.spiritofknoxville.com/photos.html. Pretty cool!

Also, it looks like the next balloon launch has been delayed slightly:

Hello All,
The Spirit of Knoxville II Balloon flight will be delayed 25 hours,
resulting in a launch time of January 4 at 03:00 universal time,
January 3 at 10:00PM Eastern Standard time. This flight has a modest
chance of making it across the Atlantic Ocean and arriving over Europe
within approximately 48 hours.
