 On Monday, September 16, 2013 members of The Perlan Project give a tour of their facilities in Bend, OR and their glider in progress.  A team of scientists and aviation buffs are preparing a 2-seat glider with a 84 ft wing span, made of carbon fiber,  that they plan to push to a record altitude of 90,000 feet above the poles in 2015.  At this height  vast iridescent clouds of nitric acid and water vapor tear apart the ozone layer, and will give them the ability to study the Polar Votex.  Founder Einar Enevoldson is the Operations Director and chief pilot of the mission.
