NEBP: Mgmt Select Launch Site #19

Closed profFisher closed 1 year ago

profFisher commented 1 year ago

We need to select the launch site for October flight so that accommodations can be made

Hi Marcus

I thought we set it already. From all your research it was to be:

NW Texas - Vanderpool Texas

If you are okay with that location- I am fine w it as well.

I have been scanning the map and I think we should do Odessa Texas, we don't have to get too far off main road. Odessa Texas is big enough that it can serve as a drop point for Helium Gas.

Actually just a little NW of Odessa is Hobbs NM would be best spot, but Odessa has hotels that are good rates. If we drove it would be 22 hours, if we fly it would be 6 hours so I think this location has better options

You are far ahead of me on this- I was trying to read they oath of totality and find it difficult to analyze.

Here is another one I found: https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/solar/2023-october-14

Hobbs NM is also fine.
