Today I decided to stop by the school closet where our control cubes are housed, and discovered that the rocket control is growing mold! The good news is that the research balloon control seems to be mold-free, but this does make me wonder how our experiments are doing...

Today Julius and I learned that the research balloon carrying our second cactus experiment will launch on August 22nd! I am not sure wether this one will have a live-stream or not, but I will write a post when I know more!

Thank you for reading!
