After launching the balloon and payload we packed up and got ready for the chase. We stopped to watch it at 126,000 ft. in Gladstone.

After 1.5 h in the air the balloon slowed its ascent. We grew impatient waiting for it to pop so we headed back to Winnipeg. Again the balloon started to rise, and suddenly all communications were lost!

Cool Fact: Our principal who stayed behind at Gladstone actually saw the balloon explode
