We're not done yet!
Hey all,
Its been a bit since we last chatted, but I wanted to let you know we're definitely not done yet. We haven't been updating this site quite as much, as its challenging to keep three locations all up to date. You can get more up-to-date info over on our blog at http://bespin.sevnthsin.com and ever MORE up-to-date info on our Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/besp1n
We're launching again this weekend, on the 10th, hoping to get some amazing shots of the Harvest Moon down in Southern, MN. The fields should be plowed, or at least most of them, so we're hoping for touchdown in a recently plowed bean field... real easy to spot, you know.
We've got three balloons left. So three launches left, including this weekend's. Once we've wrapped the season, we'll get all your photos out in the mail. In the meantime, keep checking the blog or Twitter and we'll chat again soon!

Awesome update on the bespin site. I haven't gotten in to twitter (I know!) but I'm glad your guys are soldiering on and making improvements to the design. I can't wait to see how the "space arms" improve stability at high altitude!
