That’s what was breaking my heart. Thinking that kid had fallen a few hundred feet after lifting off.
In a moment of sanity, I was trying to use my science background and guess the volume of the helium in that thing to determine if it was enough to carry a 6 year-old kid.
But I really did think that it took off and he and the “box” fell to the ground.
The new “Science and Tech Czars” or the new “Fight the Smears” (truth) Czar.
Maybe Barack will invite them for some koolaid in the White HOuse?
I was trying to figure out if there would be a chance for a really, really good skydiver to latch onto the contraption and carry the kid to safety.
