Default The earth and moon must have been in the proper alignment...
this morning because the ocean and winds were calm enough so that we were a go for takeoff :-)
Airplane is at 52,000 ft and climbing. The ambient air temperature is a mere -85 Deg. F... (great turbo temp -- ;-p) Target altitude is 65Kft with about 2.5hrs of station keeping.

By the way, you're the first to see these pics.
