Darwin Aerospace Yoni De Beule & John Boiles, Co-Founders Darwin Aerospace pushes the envelope of low-cost air and space exploration. We started out doing the first check-in in space using a high tech weather balloon. When we lost that balloon somewhere in Reno we got in to building UAV's to find and recover it. For our next project we plan to use our UAV knowledge to pull off the first autonomous food delivery Burrito Bomber during Angelhack.
