It was a test for bailouts from spacecraft. you sure that was in the 60s? i read about a guy planning such a stunt less than 2 years ago... besides, could balloons go that high back then? Yeah, it was back then. In 1960, Col. Joe Kittinger jumped from a balloon from about 103,000 feet. A year or two ago, some French guy said he was going to jump from about 130,000 ft. No idea if he ever did it, though. -- John Shirley Remove SPAM SUCKS to E-mail
