</div>So could we meet at Noisebridge early on Saturday (the 3rd) morning?<br>
<br>
The payload's last known location is 37°29.02' N 121°27.88' W<br>
<br>
Civil twilight at those co-ordinates will begin at 5:19am on Saturday with<br>
sunrise itself at 5:49am. (According to<br>
<a href="http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/rs-one-day-world" target="_blank">http://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications/data-services/rs-one-day-world</a> )<br>
<br>
How long do you think it will take to get there?<br>
