Geoff;

>Wonder what the US record is?

    According to http://www.ARHAB.Org/ (select Records, Altitude, Highest)
the World Record is 135,030 ft/41157 m, or about 30% higher than we went
last year.


    Good Luck!

I don't think we realized how close we got by accident: "Right now, the UK
amateur balloon record stands shy of 130,000 feet." Wonder what the US
record is?

Imagine if we'd tried to go further (via any number of the ideas we've
discussed recently on the list).
