- Thursday, 9/29, 5:50am MDT: House pickup in Fort Collins by Denver airport shuttle
- Thursday, 9/29, 9:47am MDT: Takeoff, Denver to Los Angeles (2.5 hours)
- Thursday, 9/29, 12:55pm PDT: Takeoff, Los Angeles to Tokyo (11.5 hours), arriving 4:35pm Japan time on following day
- Friday, 9/30, 5:55pm JDT: Takeoff, Tokyo to Singapore (7 hours), arriving 11:55pm Singapore time. Not having seen a sunset on 9/29 or the following sunrise, our September 30 will "last" only seven hours.
- Monday, 10/3, 8:30am SDT: Fantasy Hockey draft, which will concurrently be taking place at 6:30pm the previous Sunday night back in Colorado
- Monday, 10/3, Late morning - Evening: Takeoff, Singapore to Diego Garcia (6 hours), classified military flight via civilian clearance
When we arrive in Diego Garcia we will start balloon launches almost immediately, every three hours through the night and day. Curious to see how we'll end up scheduling our shift changes. We will also be exactly twelve hours ahead of Mountain Time (+06 UTC), which will be convenient for figuring out communication via Skype among other things.
