This launch sucked in three specific ways....

.... so hard, so bad, and wicked bad.

Yes, the ballast is stuck in a tree, and the balloons are still attached to the ballast.

No, it's probably not going anywhere for a few hours.

I think the ballast cut-down "saftey" is at 4.15 volts, so as soon as we get to 4.15 volts (Sunday late morning?) it should cut itself free. That is, assuming the ballast doesn't break off early, or the rest of the balloon doesn't get super stuck.

Anyway, if the ballast comes off, it'll be an interesting high-flying experience. I hope it doesn't pop a balloon and short out the antenna.
