Our launch base is in Alcântara. I could send you a Googlemap location, but I just noticed that they "blurred" it on purpose, so that foreign spies won't steel our precious high-tech secrets!

He is not riding on a rocket. It's a hot air balloon, like the ones people used to release during Festas Juninas (originally harverst feasts now an opportunity to people in the city dress like old times peasants and drink hot red wine with ginger). These balloons are outlawed, because they tend to lit a fire wherever they land, but you can still spot a few on chilly June-August nights). Lalau wrote a lot of Festa Juninas songs, the most famous is the one about a girl complaing to Saint John about not having a husband, to what the saind replied: \Matrimony? Go ask Saint Anthony!\ Ah, the great Lamartine Babo, aka Lalau.
