DFIB Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 105,000 feet and still climbing. My science and adventure geek is loving this. My inner redneck is loving this. It would have been better if he shot his balloon instead. You know that the guy that tied balloons to his lawn chair and shot them to come back down is sitting at home saying "That was my idea!" while he spills beer on his lap.

Richard B the EMT Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Somewhere, there's another guy, did the stunt with plastic garbage bags filled with helium. His problems started when the ground teather broke, as he wasn't intending to do more than float at an altitude of 15 feet! His flying beach chair actually went out over some body of water.

History Nut Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Sorry to be "picky" but don't you mean the "Columbia", not "Discovery" as the shuttle that broke up on reentry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramedicmike Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Yep. You're correct. It was Columbia and not Discovery. An error on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
