  I personally don't think the man is an idiot.  It is something never tried at that hight and he is making a well prepared attempt.  NASA is sure watching it and taking notes as away to help with our space program and our astronauts.   :yes:

I'm still wondering how long it's going to take him to ascend to 120,000 feet in that balloon.
