HD High Altitude Balloon JHAB2 Lost in Space...

The second flight of the JHAB project. The plan was a 2 hour flight, launched pre-dawn, to attempt to capture the sunrise, then land in Murrieta valley (30 miles from launch) -- However due to to a bad reading from the digital scale, we only had 3lbs of lift vs the planned 5.5 lbs of lift! This caused JHAB to lift very slowly, getting caught in a tree after liftoff, (bumping the GoPro HD camera to an angle) and then head the opposite direction - out towards the pacific ocean! The video chronicles her voyage, and luckily her recovery!
