How high can you fly?

Correct. Those are aeronautical physics experiments. They are unmanned to set records in duration and elevation. No they are unmanned because they would have to be many times bigger to carry the weight of a person. No they are unmanned because they didn't want to make them large enough to carry a man. http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/n...ios/index.html Keep trying. Even a blind pig gets an acorn once in a while. --- Mark -- Jim Pennino

They are unmanned because they wanted to set endurance and elevation records. My mistake was in thinking I was wrong. Like you. --- Mark

Having comprehension problems? If you want to be 100% anal-retentively correct, there was never any plan for them to be other than unmanned, so they were designed to be just big enough to be able to fly with what's in them. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.

You are! gibberish snipped ... there was never any plan for them to be other than unmanned, so they were designed to be just big enough to be able to fly with what's in them. -- Jim Pennino Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong If you study the development of the design and it's mission statement, you will see that these things are designed to carry nearly an 800lb payload. Further study will explain what that payload consists of, and what it will be used for. No acorn for you. --- Mark

They have otherwise no useful purpose any time in the foreseeable future. They are too fragile to survive in the real world and too slow to be useful for surveillance as they can't keep up with winds aloft. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply.
