It’s way too early to tell, but I registered.Any word on if BALLS is still a go?
Haha, I would hope you'd be registered!It’s way too early to tell, but I registered.
Why is there a limit in the middle of the desert??
Why is that rule in place of 50 people or less because wasn't there more then 150+ people at anyone time at other national launches?BLM land and policies. The likely have a permit that allows for up to 50 participants.
Why is that rule in place of 50 people or less because wasn't there more then 150+ people at anyone time in argonia?
Is the difference government land vs. private?
This English makes no sense to me. Please leave Argonia out of this discussion. There is NO linkage between BALLS and KLOUDBusters launches.Why is that rule in place of 50 people or less because wasn't there more then 150+ people at anyone time in argonia?

thank you Mclark for answering my question!! much appreciated. with this such a crazy time we are living in i was just curious how some events are allowed and some are not either rocketry related or not. heck sturgis was allowed.I believe 50 is the group limit without a permit.
BALLS has always had a BLM permit. We payed per person x day, within reason we can have as many as show up.
Very large groups such as BurningMan annually negotiate a maximum number
I think BM is at 50000 tickets. If no one shows up to their spot after a day or so, they can sell the spot to whomever drives up, iirc.I believe 50 is the group limit without a permit.

Yeah, it was 50k when I went to BM in 2008. I get the newsletter and every year it’s a battle (except this year of course). BM wants more tickets available and BLM puts more and more restrictions. Afterwards, the volunteers walk straight line across the playa to make it the same as it was before the event. If BLM inspects and doesn’t approve, no permit next year. I imagine it’s the same with Balls.There are no real federal Covid 19 size restrictions, only recommendations. Each state (or in some cases county) enacts its own group size restrictions due to Covid. The State of Nevada adopted a limit of 50 people. Kansas is restricted or not county by county. Sumner County (Argonia) has no group size restriction according to https://www.khi.org/assets/uploads/news/15015/khi_policytracker_august11.pdf. Neither does the state of South Dakota (Sturgis). Even BLM must comply with each states’ group size limit.
Burning Man’s most recent permit was for 80,000 and they wanted to expand that to 100,000. Tripoli’s comments were that that was too many. Burning Man officially went virtual this year although some people went to the playa anyway.
