Launch Heaven:
Gene's place is ideal for launching EOSS balloons.
First, he has a large structure where we can prepare our balloons for flight.
Next he has a "Sun Porch" which for all intents and purposes looks as though it was designed for our use. Large windows all facing south towards a field where we actually release the payloads. So, mission control folks can stay warm and cozy even on the most freezing of launch days.
