Much cheaper to hire an airplane ... he can get a lot higher than 1800 feet that way. Hell, here in Albuquerque, we're already between 5,000 and 6,500 feet, and then we have the Sandia Mountains due east of the city that rise from about 6,500 feet at the base to just under 10,700 feet at the peak. There's even a tram that goes from the base to near the peak for about $25. A tank of gas and a ticket up the tram will get him higher than his little rocket.

Larry Walters in his lawn chair and weather balloons got higher and farther.
My son is an aerospace engineering student. He’s coming home tonight. Can’t wait to get his reaction to this guy.

That's a better guarantee for a soft landing.
