Re: Best Way to Launch unusual items?

If you don't care about precision landing sites and have a PR team who are pros at getting landowners to let you recover your device, a High Altitude Balloon can launch any lightweight items you can dream of. A few of my colleagues are getting into this at work, and I've suggested that launch windows be every 6-1/2 weeks so we have a nice consistent set of deadlines to aim for.

It may also take longer than a single match to come back down, but depending on how good (or intentionally bad) your engineering is, you can easily fix that.
