Bali Hi and I will be leading a Quantum Leap Prometheus launch beginning this Saturday morning at 7 AM California time GMT-8. The goal is to launch nine Prometheus launches within a 24-hour time period.
Bali2 will start all launches. Bali2 will start Launch #1. You have 20 minutes to join the launch and contribute whatever fuel you can. After #1 launches, there will be a 2 hour and 40 minute wait for landing. Then Bali2 will start Launch #2 ... then Launches #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8 and #9.
Here's the schedule:
(All times are California time -- GMT-8)
Launch #1 begins at 7 am with Bali2 taking first place
Launch #2 begins at 10 am with Suresh taking first place
Launch #3 begins at 1 pm with USER=2224]Lukasz[/USER] (lukehome) taking first place
Launch #4 begins at 4 pm with Blackcloud game WLG taking first place
Launch #5 begins at 7 pm with Bali2 taking first place
Launch #6 begins at 10 pm with Waverly huff taking first place
Launch #7 begins at 1 am with Pakman taking first place
Launch #8 begins at 4 am with Pakman taking first place
Launch #9 -- final launch -- begins just before 7 am with Waverly huff taking first place
To repeat, anyone who wants to join has a 20 minute window to do so. Bali2 will be responsible for ending each launch on time. Other neighbors are, of course, welcome to join any launches!
Cheers,
Tom

With less than 24 hours to go, I'm going to start a Conversation with all of you. We can communicate further on that private thread rather than this public thread.
UPDATE: Apparently we can only do a maximum of five on a Conversation. So I will start two Conversations to include everyone.
Cheers,
Tom

[Bali Hi]

You know, it's just amazing how I start the launch and before I put in any points, I already have Tom & Pakman as fellow astronauts. It happens everytime!

We have had good launches so far with 8 - 9 participants every time.

See you in 3 hours.

 

[greensmith]

Maybe I'm naiive, but I think it's really cool that people from India, Indonesia, England, The Netherlands and the U.S. get together in spite of different time zones and languages and do this.
Sorry, Blackcloud, Deetee04, Lukasz, nsari ... I couldn't figure out where you are located.
Cheers,
Tom
