Raspberry Boom and John Magnus Insights

The video discusses Albuquerque's rich history in ballooning, highlighting the John Magnus solar balloon designed by Daniel Bowman. This balloon aims to set a new altitude record by reaching 100,000 feet. It features a Raspberry Boom device to detect low-frequency sounds like volcanic eruptions and ocean waves. The balloon is expected to land in Oklahoma or Texas after sunset.
