Do leave comments and observations. Do you notice anything unusual about different stages of the ascent? Did the video match what you expected to see from the payload camera? Can you pick out any landmarks in the video? What do you think will happen when the balloon bursts? If we were to launch again would you recommend particular weather conditions so that we get good pictures?

Imagine you were the Lego figure. How would you feel throughout the ascent? Which parts were most exciting/frightening/beautiful? Which parts would be hottest/coldest? How hot or cold would they be? What landmarks could you see?

Thanks to the handy arrows, I managed to notice places like the Bristol Channel, the Isle of Wight etc. The video footage was rather like what I expected but I never thought it would get so high! Also, seeing as the middle figure is mine, I was nervous that we wouldn't find it! However, we did and I am exceptionally pleased that I have been part of this spectacular event (my lego figure is too!).

I thought that we were never going to get to the common in time for the launch.Luckily we made it in time but I thought it was going to be a bit too windy for the balloon.It was OK in the end, the other Lego figures were not wearing space suits, so I hope they are going to be OK for any other trips.

Pretty high hey? I like the suspense Mr Warner had planned in the video. Yet when I saw the video for the first time I was extremely disappointed; because
I wanted to see the rest of the video.
