When it first started out it was flying at about the 125,000 ft. level. Now it cruises along at around 40,000 ft.

When it first started out it was flying at about the 125,000 ft. level. Now it cruises along at around 40,000 ft.Due to global warming, no doubt...

An airliner hitting an 11 gram payload?
Kinda like a mosquito hitting a car that is traveling at 60 mph.

Are you expecting something else beside it and the polyethylene balloon it is attached to?

this balloon has covered 144168 kilometers and has crossed its launching longitude six times.That's about 86500 miles. Seems like maybe enough mileage for 3 times. Anyone have better math than me? Mine usually sucks.

It’s traveled around the Northern Hemisphere six times. That’s a little different than traveling around the equator.

The article says the balloon is made of plastic foil.
