Five, four, three, two, one... This holster's going into space!
[Sound Effects]
[Music]
You know, we thought real hard about what would be the best way to launch
this new product, the ShapeShift modular holster system and I think we
all thought that it should be something really big, and so, we decided to launch
this thing into space.
[Music]
Thomas Tedder >>> so if we actually do this put these into space we can put a couple behind
the camera and then, when it comes back down, and we can wear those
and we will be the only people walking around with holsters that have actually
been in space.
Tim Treto>>> That's awesome. Do you think astronauts have ever taken a
holster into space?
Thomas Tedder>>>um, you know on Star Trek they had their phasers and stuff, I don't
know that they have holsters for their phasers or they just kind of like lift
them out of their spandex or whatever? Tim Trito >>> Seems like they had a little... you know, I can't remember
Thomas Tedder>>> I don't know I bet you the real astronauts -
Tim Treto >>>I know Star Wars, you know, they all had their little holsters
Thomas Tedder >>>Yeah, I bet you the real ones to tell I don't think they've ever probably taken a real
gun into space. I think we're going to be the only people who have space holsters.
Tim Treto >>>Yeah definitely I was just testing it.
So what's what's the real reason we're going to do this?
Thomas Tedder >>> I think the real reason we're going to be doing this is because
not to say "oh we survived a drop test from space" or anything like that
Tim Treto >>>although we will
Thomas Tedder >>> Yeah we know that's going to happen. The real reason
is the same reason we've got a ping-pong table and a foosball table in the break
room. It's because it's fun then why not put a holster into space
Tim Treto >>> yeah
plus, we're Alien Gear Holsters, come on we should put this up in space.
Thomas Tedder >>> Yeah, our stuff belongs there of course. Alan you know, he's alien and it make sense.
Tim Treto >>> If he were here he would agree - where is Allen?
Thomas Tedder >>>Yeah, he is here, isn't he?
Paul Verhage, Expert >>>So we're going to start with the experimental payload, this will have your
holsters that we're sending up and the videotaping we're going to do.
two tracking modules using amateur radio this has aGPS receiver and a modem built for
radios they'll transmit their location every minute one of the [Latitude]/ [Longitude] and
altitude, then speed and direction.
then we go up to parachute ring
this will keep the shroud lines from twisting up, up to the recovery parachute
recovery parachute goes to our load line, and load line ties to the neck of our balloon.
We'll fill this balloon it'll lift this all of this weight plus about
five pounds more, carries it up, expands, bursts, parachute opens up, brings
the stuff all back down safely for us
I think we're good.
we're good looking between 90 and
95 thousand feet on this flight whilst our landing further north than we
planned, so we're gonna drive to [Edwall] and Edwall is where the balloon will
burst over, and it'll be about five or 10 miles further north is where it's
going to land. But we'll take 231, so once you get out of here, don't get on the
interstate just take 231 which we'll take to Edwall, and wait for the balloon to burst
Tanner Palmer >>> Okay
Paul Verhage >>>we're ready to go so I guess let's get the gas
Tanner Palmer >>>Let's do it
