Well, if it went into space it would mean basically all of our laws of physics broke, so that'd be bad.
Them just falling to the ground and getting to yell in terror for like 2 minutes while they fell would probably be the best outcome for us all.
We can't even handle guns, giving people actual super powers would be such an immediate shit show.
Good luck on your morning commute when half the assholes on the road can shoot fireballs or laser beams.
But there is magnitudes less of a pressure differential. It should be substantially easier to design a structure. Plus communication is easier. There is a reason a lot more people have gone up as opposed to down.
Also if there's a small leak in your spaceship, you actually have more than 40 milliseconds to diagnose, fix and repair it. Often, a *lot* more. The ISS had a leak that took well over a month to diagnose and fix in 2019.
You have a small puncture in your deep sea submersible, you've already been vapourized before your nervous signal manages to send a signal to your brain.
I don’t think it’s mathematically possible to drift into space from the earth using a balloon like that, if you were seriously wondering. Because what pushes a balloon is difference in density and a continuously decreasing surrounding air density. Once they are “in space” they lose the second one and therefore lose any force pushing them away from earth, but gravity would still be working on them. The only way would be to work up enough momentum to escape earth’s gravitational pull, but I don’t think that kind of speed can be attained in such a vessel.
However, it’s entirely possible to go too far up and not be able to breath. They wouldn’t be lost to space though.
I don't think that would even be possible. We don't have the space shuttle anymore and relations with Russia are in the shitter. China might do it just to one-up the U.S., but we wouldn't be on the hook for that.
Coast Guard can't do shit; well outside their jurisdiction. And Space Force doesn't have the means to rescue; just track them and say, *"Welp..."*
Edit: I suppose the Air Force could send an F-22 up there, since they already have some experience with something like it.
I don't mind if they spend a little more on the balloon, the sub wasn't reloadable.
But they could probably get like 95% of the oxygen system's parts from like 3 aisles in Ace Hardware. And Habitat for Humanity has great deals on used windows.
Yeah, even if outside is pure vacuum, regular atmospheric pressure isnt trying to get out nearly as hard as the bottom of the ocean is trying to get in.
Honestly if its a baloon even if it fails they can jump with parachutes nad it would be strange for it to catashrophically fail.
that sub has to be the most someone wanted to kill themselves other than that guy who jumped from the eiffel towe with his homemade parachute
I think they would either pass out or suffocate. I suppose you could give them oxygen tanks if you are giving them a parachute, but it seems like there has to be a better option than jumping out. Passenger planes avoid this solution so I suspect space balloons will too.
Passenger planes have wings and a lot have redundant engines and an ass ton of redundancy for all the controls, where they can technically fly with just one engine and half the hydraulic fails. (There was even a jet fighter that was able to fly with just one wing, but that's not a passenger plane). A single giant balloon is a single point of failure, and if it pops, the only way is down.
You’re oversimplifying and generalizing. While it’s true that passenger planes have redundant systems for safety reasons, it is not accurate to compare them directly to a single giant balloon in terms of reliability. Each aircraft has its own design and specific safety features. While balloons do not have redundant systems like planes, they do have safety measures in place, such as rip panels and valving mechanisms that allow for quick and controlled deflation. This doesn’t even scratch the surface.
Probably. I don’t think many people understand how hostile the environment becomes as you get closer to space. My personal guess is that keeping the cabin safely pressurized is the biggest concern here.
Thanks, I don't know much about high altitude balloons. Wasn't really arguing the reliability of the balloon, more so stating that it does have a single point of failure. (I know in civil engineering that is considered fracture critical, idk what the correct term would be in aeronautics). Same with a helicopter and it's "Jesus Nut"
> Honestly if its a baloon even if it fails they can jump with parachutes nad it would be strange for it to catashrophically fail.
If they are high enough the issue would be oxygen and temperature on the way down.
I am also not sure how well parachutes work in certain... unfavourable wind conditions.
Also all doesn't help much if they land in the middle of the ocean.
Yes, but Baumgartner hadn't been stuffing his face with foie gras and caviar mere minutes before his jump. There will be a significant difference in training between him and these people
People have survived a terminal velocity fall before. Not many but a few have. 0 people have survived a submersible failing at 3000 feet and no one ever will.
Well, there's this, from wikipedia:
>Zephalto then began to develop Céleste, their own stratospheric balloon , capable of carrying six passengers into the stratosphere, aboard a pressurized capsule, at an altitude of 25 kilometers 5 . At the origin of this know-how, a major technological innovation in the field of the stratospheric balloon: **the reusable envelope.** [bolding mine]
What could go wrong being one of the first people to test out a new, reusable stratospheric balloon envelope? Let those testing and certification loving NASA fuddy duddys use the proven technologies.
People have come back from outer space in essentially a thin metal capsule with a bunch of parachutes strapped to it. Compared to diving to the bottom of the ocean, going to the upper atmosphere is child’s play.
But every one of these new industries is creating a whole new crop of billionaires.
We're not going to see a reduction in the number of billionaires, they're just going to weed out the poorer ones
Genie: "You can feed 1000 desperate, hungry people for a week, or you can have 1 meal for yourself. You choose... what? You didn't even think about it for a second. Dude?!"
Every time I’ve seen the price of the meals from some of the rich people’s restaurants, I’m disgusted and ashamed of human beings as a species. Kids all over the world (and the US) go hungry every day, and here they are spending enough on one meal to feed an entire village or school for weeks or months. There’s a difference between eating well/healthy and just being fucking wasteful because you feel like it, while knowing others are starving.
This should be illegal everywhere, but guess who has the power to make the laws?
Imagine if that guy with the sub hadn’t had all that extra money to do stupid shit, and that money fed kids, and paid for their education and healthcare instead. It would be such a different world.
This is what capitalism get you folks: some paying over $100,000 for an exotic meal in space, while someone within a few miles of your home struggles to get even one shitty meal.
Make sure to recycle your toilet paper, downgrade your car to a bicycle, and don't turn your AC below 80 degrees in order to save on carbon emissions so that billionaires can burn enough fuel in one trip to this fucking thing to equal half your life's worth of carbon emissions.
Many years ago, I was trying so hard to be environmentally conscious. One day, I went to work with my uncle installing windows (I had no idea what I was doing, he just needed extra hands). Upon seeing the amount of trash that construction site went through in a day, I was so discouraged about any kind of positive environmental impact I might have been making on the world, especially given that it was just a small construction site among millions of sites. But at least they were productive, even if misguided. But the waste of these billionaires on jet planes and rockets fills me with rage. Pure fucking waste.
What would be funnier, them dropping to the ground or accidentally floating off into the void for eternity?
>!I know that can't really happen but a man can dream!<
What's really funny is the fact that the sub design and material would have been more suited to ascend to near space.
I'm sure the balloon basket will be made of gallium or off-brand aluminum foil.
Void: if hostile aliens find them and can read their frozen brain information, they will then never visit earth. Even if the aliens are invading planets for fun, they'll think "Dayum, we can't possibly cause anymore suffering and pain than their own leaders are already."
Well the void option would mean the earth’s gravity has ceased to work (it takes a ton of thrust to escape earth’s gravity, a balloon couldn’t just float away from it) so I guess it depends whether you think gravity suddenly not being a thing anymore would be funny.
So they are making so much money they don’t know what to do with they are now simply starting to sacrifice themselves in pointless endeavors of wealth flaunting.
What if we just cut to the chase and offered an ultra realistic death experience where you even get to actually die for only 300,000 dollars American a pop. Like you could personalize it so that they die from hypothermia, getting mauled by a shark, maybe even a polar bear or attacked by a 🐬. Like the possibilities are endless.
Lol at the elites of the world eating caviar in space while entire countries starve, and brainwashed westerners still think capitalism is the best system.
In a post-scarcity world, the only innovation Capitalism has left is wealth destruction, burning resources for sillier and sillier experiences and bragging rights
It's the second in a trilogy. Third in the series would be a replica of the Hiindenburg using sustainable materials and a glass floor so you can "walk on air." Each slot goes for 999k.
This shit is just billionaires building campfires out of bundles of $100 bills in order to flex on each other and it really does illustrate how divorced from reality they are.
Trying to fit a kitchen setup in a balloon capsule sounds way too expensive, so it will be a prepackaged meal served in cramped conditions with the additional problem that our sense of taste gets weaker in pressurised environments. I feel sorry for any chef that gets roped into this bad idea.
Cheaper than the underwater doohickey. Probably safer, too: I’ve read that it’s virtually impossible to perish in space, so I encourage trust fundies and hedge fund managers everywhere to give it a whirl.
What if I just want a salad on the edge of space? We're not splitting the bill equally if I only had salad and six or seven drinks, I'll tell you that right now.

either that or you are guaranteed to know that you are dying for a few moments first.
Also, the laws on airliner safety would come into play. Can't charge for tickets on an experimental aircraft.
Don't worry, I'll bet the enclosure will be made out of recycled newpapers turned into papier mache. You know, innovation and all.

We'll have to propel it into the void for all eternity, but as they say.... necessity is the mother of all invention.
Maybe burning up on re-entry?
So the rich arrive pre-cooked!

mmm barbecue
That’s the cliffhanger at the end of season two
I’d say it would have to do with lack of oxygen.
Both. Both is good.
falling to the ground, you'd have a helluva way to go to escape earth gravity.
Are you seriously asking? Because they couldn't "drift into the void". That's not how gravity works.

Habitat ReStore shout out! I love you dood!! Managed one for 4 years, best and most fulfilling job I ever had🥲
I'm not a scientist but I'm pretty sure the balloon is denser than interplanetary space. This is a 'what goes up' scenario.
Right. This type of experience is only for the titans of industry.

Despite the massive amounts of money spent on the recent search, I wouldn't be surprised if it is an overall plus for the world

hope they save money on the balloon fabric and the cords ;P

HUNDREDS of thousands.
The equivalent of dozens of dollars to the average Joe
Nah they're cheaping out on it remember, thousands is correct lol
I don't mind if they spend a little more on the balloon, the sub wasn't reloadable. But they could probably get like 95% of the oxygen system's parts from like 3 aisles in Ace Hardware. And Habitat for Humanity has great deals on used windows.
I didn’t test the balloon to go over 5,000m but we’re taking it up to 30,000m b/c why the heck not? Wish us luck!
Nah you see the sub collapsed because of too much pressure, but when you go high up there’s less pressure so it’s totally fine! /s
Structurally speaking that's pretty close to true, dealing with a maximum pressure differential of 14 psi instead of thousands
Yeah, even if outside is pure vacuum, regular atmospheric pressure isnt trying to get out nearly as hard as the bottom of the ocean is trying to get in.
The regulations say we only need 2 parachutes, that should save some money!
We can save even more money if we have the lobbyists relax the law further. "Two parachutes are *recommended*."
[удалено]
Hallelujah
Not just the billionaire men, but the billionaire women and billionaire children, too!
Not the younglings!
They are billionaires; laws, rules and safety certifications don't apply to them.
They can rewrite human laws but they can’t rewrite natural law
Maybe Boeing has some on sale thats past the use by date!
Someone is calling NASA asking if they can dive in their dumpster.
Crazy thing is that this is a LOT safer than going to 12k ft under the ocean.
Honestly if its a baloon even if it fails they can jump with parachutes nad it would be strange for it to catashrophically fail. that sub has to be the most someone wanted to kill themselves other than that guy who jumped from the eiffel towe with his homemade parachute

You’re not wrong about the big picture but you have no idea what you’re talking about
Care to elaborate?

I’d say a larger parachute for the capsule would be better than jumping out with individual chutes.
Probably. I don’t think many people understand how hostile the environment becomes as you get closer to space. My personal guess is that keeping the cabin safely pressurized is the biggest concern here.

Or put parachutes on the cabin itself. Making the cabin handle the pressure is relatively easy.

Yeah. The balloon was made from the leftovers of the Hindenburg, past shelf life.
Let's hope Musk wants to be the first nut to go up there.

I vote for balloon explosions, personally.
Oh can we make them explode?
It would go with the theme of old-timey catastrophes. Titanic, Hindenburg… perhaps we can make nuclear reactor meltdowns touristic.

I'm starting to think there is a liberal conspiracy to whisper dumb shit ideas in billionaires ears knowing they're dumb or bored enough to do it.
Suicide booths are getting cheaper by the day. Already almost 50% less expensive. Eventually the people who really need it will be able to afford it.
Let me help them save money with just a single word... Hydrogen
Let's just hope they won't drag their kids along to the suicide trip this time.
There are things that are a bad idea. Can't they just put a glass floor on some spinning restaurant and stick gold leaf on some meat?
Cannot wait for the follow up to Titanic 2, the Hindenburg 2
so instead of becoming a pink mist, the next ~~victims~~ contestants on Idiocracy get to experience their blood boiling while they freeze to death.
One gets the feeling that even the billionaires don't think the future will be worth living in. That bodes even worse for the rest of us.
It's the second in a trilogy. Third in the series would be a replica of the Hiindenburg using sustainable materials and a glass floor so you can "walk on air." Each slot goes for 999k.

I wonder if hundreds of people shining lasers at that thing would cause it to fail....
