<p>When will the launch be? I think we should commemorate the event with 99 red balloons...or 99 luftballons....what where the consensus is.</p>

To make a floating NoiseDrone which can be used for filming the occupation<br>
from above, we will need the following materials:<br>
<br>
1. Baloon<br>
2. Helium or Hydrogen<br>
3. A rigid ring to attach around baloon<br>
4. 4 Sticks sticking outward from the ring<br>
5. Servos on the ends of those sticks to tilt<br>
6. Powerful motors with propellers mounted on them<br>
7. An android phone for livestreaming<br>
8. An analog camera for an analog wireless feed<br>
9. An analog wireless transmitter for the camera<br>
10. A control system to receive commands from the ground<br>
11. Batteries or a plutonium thermopile (or polonium?)<br>
12. A remote control<br>
<br>
We can build everything right now (assuming SpaceBridge or The Russians<br>
donate a baloon and helium) except we lack motors and props, and a team.<br>
<br>
I nominate myself and Shannon and MCT to the team, plus whoever supplies<br>
four similar motors and props (and decent servos too).<br>
<br>
I volunteer to do the electronics, mostly, if other people will step up to<br>
supply things like a phone, motors, props, and personpower to actually<br>
operate the thing.<br>

It's for aerial reconnaissance... We want to put a livestream on a balloon<br>
over #occupysf.<br>
