Those are from the camera that our new best friends from
http://spaceballoonproject.blogspot.com/ provided, actually. The
camera I was asking about we just pointed down and started recording
video at launch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go56JzqoFK0 - which
turned out so well (until it ran into a max filesize problem, grumble)
that I think we're just going to glue flip video cameras all over the
outside of the next one.

(there's a longer version out there somewhere with a few minutes of
black screen with puzzled and slightly comic debate about how to
attach payload to a giant balloon - we weren't quite perfectly
prepared ;)

http://dichro.blogspot.com/2010/02/declaring-weeks-advance-notice-of.html
is the first, I think. More will surely come.
