LaunchingMan™,

Alvord Desert, Oregon, United States Alvord Desert, Oregon, United States

  • About the event

    This summer Cameron Smith and the Pacific Spaceflight team will attempt to fly a hot-air balloon to above 50,000 ft and test the latest version of their D.I.Y. spacesuit. 

    Pioneering open source space technology development; specifically designing, building, and testing lighter, cheaper, and simpler space suits and lowering the cost of space access.

    With over eight years of scientific and technical development under our belt, we are ready to go live. Our first open source DIY project – a spacesuit for all of humanity – is ready for field testing.

    This summer beginning on July 23 at precisely 5:11:11 am Pacific Time in the remote deserts of Eastern Oregon we will be undertaking our most aggressive space suit testing during our Launching Man™ 30 day base camp event.

    We will need volunteers, in kind, and financial donations in order to pull off this major feat for the future of space access for all of humanity.

     

    Why should you sponsor?

    This is an opportunity to support ordinary individuals who are dreaming big. They have achieved something remarkable by creating a fully functional spacesuit in their spare time. And now Cameron and his team wish to see their dream fulfilled by testing it in the stratosphere.

    The Red Bull Stratos campaign and the recent Tesla car launch into space show how space has the ability to grab peoples attention and imagination. In the past eight years this spacesuit project has also grabbed the attention of millions of people through publications such as Discovery Magazine, Scientific American, Wired, Popular Mechanics, BBC, CNN, The Times etc...

    Starting with an upcoming item on 'Outrageous Acts of Science' we wish to promote a sponsor so that they can benefit from the positive public response and help us continue with the project.

    This is an enthusiastic collaboration thats driven by the hope that space exploration will be available to all and will safeguard the future of humanity. We hope that you will enjoy being part of the team.
