That’s not as weird as one might think. Our local Shell Station guy has tied 30+ weather balloons to a lawn chair and flown half way across the state. He carried a BB Gun and starts picking off balloons to keep from going too high and then landing. Got a pic of him flying over the shop on his last trip. As opposed to Elon’s rockets he said it’s perfectly quiet up there.
