ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, JUNE 23, 2002, 4:00 a.m. CDT (JUNE 23, 2002, 09:00 UTC) After an exhausting day of uncertainty and risk, Steve Fossett is finally getting some much-needed slumber. After swooping down to remarkably low levels (as low as 400 feet or 120 meters) to duck under wayward winds, Bud Light Spirit of Freedom rose back up to cruising altitude at 24,500 feet (7468 meters) not long ago. With the situation now more stable, Steve is grabbing catnaps between calls from Mission Control, where an up-to-date trajectory plan is being formulated to capitalize on the strongest easterly winds. The only way the balloon can be steered is by rising or falling to an altitude where the wind direction varies with the desired heading. Mission Control is currently pinpointing wind directions at various altitudes via complex mathematical weather models and advising Steve which altitude to maintain. Bud Light Spirit of Freedom should be back on the fast track soon, skirting around a cyclone weather system and on toward South America. The current position is 45 degrees south latitude and 142 degrees west longitude.

16. Death and life of tomorrow, we do not know their nature. Today with its livelihood is what the wise man asks for. Neither the impious nor the godly man can alter the lifetime that was assigned to him.
Thoughtful link today Captain - thanks.
How's the strike going?
We're glad it's not affected you, to date.
