 ===Goals of Node Space Shot===
-Develop tools and methods for other groups.
+Why we should go to near space:
-Bring back the use of the word aerostats into every day conversation
+It's a spectacular and achievable goal with lots of design challenges requiring robust methods and coordinated work.
-Learn to love your self
+The challenges include extreme cold, condensation, extreme force, unreliable data and luck.
-World record for highest taco drop
+With other hacker spaces working on the Workshop88 competition and general interest this is an opportunity to both collaborate with other hacker spaces and to establish Node's own style. Opportunities exist for developing methods for payload data recording, tracking and recovery methods.
