Ava
My first launch was on a very sunny day in October. Due to relative inexperience we didn't put enough gas in the balloon and it ended up floating out to sea. Additionally the GPS failed due to interference from the small video camera. Recovery was initiated by boat and despite the failure of all the electronics due to salt water the pictures were spectacular.
