The Google Earth deal is a fairly straightforward KML hack where you supply lat/lon in the correct order and it plots 'em. Can't recall the correct incantation but it's not hard. I can look and post an example later, perhaps

Hi Bernard,
    I don't understand the failure you're seeing.  The permissions
are correct on the server and I could download them.

As for the GoogleEarth plot of the balloon track, I don't know
how it was made.  The Stanford launch team did that picture.
I haven't had time to dive into the technology underlying
GoogleEarth.  The Stanford project web site is:

Hi Craig,

Thanks, *but* when I try to view them I get a "550 Failed to open file."

From memory, ftp error 550 is access denied.

Thanks

ps: how did you get the waypoints plotted on GoogleEarth? Was that
manually done?
