Really? Wow ... I think the camera has a fisheye lens on it so that kind of distorts the horizon a bit. 70K is just above Concorde and SST and the sky does look that deep blue. So at 100 it's probably almost black.

Yes, it looks well-planned; I hope he's able to carry it off and not have it go sour.

Balloon = 1/10th thickness of a Ziploc bag, yet weighs 3,000 lbs. and would take up to an acre if laid out flat.
