Ladies and gentlemen, the research balloon has launched! Unfortunately, Julius and I were in class while it was launching, so we could not watch it live, but Cubes in Space has some awesome pictures of the launch that I want to share with y'all.

Thank you for reading!

Good Morning!

3.2.1. Launch!
Just a quick update to let y'all know that the rocket has lauched, spent approximately three minutes in space, and has now landed in the ocean, where NASA staff will be working to retrieve it.

Authors

Julius:
Julius is the true scientist of the Cactus in Space project. He makes sure everything is properly recorded, stops his partner in science from saying "this thingy" too much, and makes sure we are always supplied with good literature. (Lord of the Rings)
During his free time he enjoys learning multiple languages, and inventing things with CAD software.

Edith:
Sending cactus into space was Edith's brainchild, and she only gets crazier from there. She will be the main author of the blog, take all of the pictures, weigh and measure the experiment, and bug people when she thinks that work needs to be done. ;-)
During her free time she enjoys reading, music, art, and crafts.
