This is our return-to-home plane flying itself. Balloon pops around :21, and the plane stabilizes + points home after that. Lots more to do, but finally fundamentally working! Maybe I'll even learn how to aim the camera for better shots, someday;)

I feel like I should be making more money for how many federal agencies contact me . epa.gov/newsreleases/e…

"Chesapeake Climate Action Network is speaking out in strong opposition to the work of Make Sunsets because it is a dangerous distraction from the serious scientific research that needs to be done. However, the EPA opposition to Make Sunsets is hypocritical & factually

Yesterday, on Earth Day, we launched two drones to test autonomous return-to-home… and both succeeded! Here’s the video of one of the drones reaching ~41,322 ft, separating from a balloon, and beginning its 18-mile journey back. 1:04 The drone cruises back with a view of the

let's make some superhydrogel! who's down to help? anthropocenemagazine.org/2025/04/resear…

i get it that many things are overbuilt in the u.s., but i will never stop finding these euro hitches comically tiny

i’m excited to see what impact this has on my future chats

here's the view from 30km as a balloon pops:)

and here's stabilization on the way down

“In the long term, this process could double current atmospheric CO₂ concentrations by releasing carbon that has been stored in the deep ocean for centuries—potentially with catastrophic consequences for the global climate.” icm.csic.es/en/news/major-…

plane separating from balloon at 3700m. stabilizes within 10 seconds, using very little propeller:) also: look at how beautiful the world is!

down and up, summarized in a minute:)

progress!

sorry, flat-earthers;)
