did you warn authorities that you were going to launch a balloon ? it could have been swallowed by a plane engine

@tunkunrunk
Unless the payload is over four pounds, you do not need FAA approval to launch a high-altitude balloon.

I launched one last summer, in Colorado Springs, the balloon bursted at 102,000 Ft

I've been launching since October 1996.

I was wondering if that balloon can carry a person.

No, they're not that large.

How high can a balloon like that go?

I've had a balloon reach 114,600 feet. Others have gone to 120,000 feet.

How long have you been launching Balloons

I wonder how much it costs to launch one of those balloons
NearSpace01 3 years ago
About $150 for the balloon and helium. The capsules are reuseable, but can cost at least $300.
