00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,360 me to see a movie about a boy that 37 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,680 floats away on a bunch of balloons 38 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,079 and inspired my love of levitation and 39 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:40,640 magic for sure 40 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,360 i've never forgotten that image and now 41 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,119 i'm going to make it a reality 42 00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:47,360 by holding onto a bunch of balloons and 43 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,799 flying as high as i can possibly go 44 00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:53,040 every single stunt that i've ever done 45 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,360 is about endurance and pushing past what 46 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,040 i thought would be possible 47 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,200 i can't imagine many people would ever 48 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,479 dream of doing them 49 00:02:02,479 --> 00:02:04,560 my daughter was at the last one when she 50 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,479 was about two years old 51 00:02:06,479 --> 00:02:09,039 it was so difficult and extreme that i 52 00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:10,800 decided right then and there that i 53 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,800 would find something that would inspire 54 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,200 her 55 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,319 and not scare her even though this seems 56 00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,160 like every kid's dream 57 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,160 ascension is the most ambitious 58 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,720 performance of my life 59 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,800 thanks to my team at youtube i've 60 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,800 assembled some of the best experts in 61 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:27,599 their fields 62 00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:30,560 led by the elite skydiver and craziest 63 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,160 daredevil i've ever met 64 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,720 luke aikens i also have the world's 65 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200 leading weather experts balloonists and 66 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,680 aerial engineers working on this 67 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,599 all of whom are critical in helping me 68 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:42,720 pull this off 69 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,319 we've never designed anything like this 70 00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,800 before lighter than air outdoors etc so 71 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,840 this has been a 72 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,599 really wild and fun learning experience 73 00:02:49,599 --> 00:02:51,519 for us in order to do this i've been 74 00:02:51,519 --> 00:02:53,120 learning how to skydive 75 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,879 that was so good i also became a 76 00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:58,400 commercial balloon pilot with the 77 00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,440 ability to fly 78 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,560 helium filled balloons there are a lot 79 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,280 of critical 80 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:04,959 moments in this project that david has 81 00:03:04,959 --> 00:03:06,959 to work on trying to figure out how i 82 00:03:06,959 --> 00:03:08,720 can put the parachute on 83 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,519 once i'm up at 5 000 feet so that's the 84 00:03:11,519 --> 00:03:12,400 switch 85 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,599 no no not this if he doesn't put on his 86 00:03:15,599 --> 00:03:17,200 parachute he dies 87 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,640 if there's a catastrophic balloon 88 00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:20,879 failure part way up david comes crashing 89 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:23,120 down to earth 90 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,760 and now we've moved ascension to page 91 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,120 arizona 92 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,599 i've never had to land on terrain that's 93 00:03:33,599 --> 00:03:36,000 this difficult in my life 94 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,560 but at the same time i'm so excited to 95 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:46,080 pull this off 96 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,959 i can't believe today is finally here 97 00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:50,799 i've been working on this and dreaming 98 00:03:50,799 --> 00:03:53,200 about this for over a decade 99 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,159 this is by far the most exciting project 100 00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,040 that i've ever put together in my life 101 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,080 and the best part is i've actually put 102 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,920 the most incredible team

it's like i'm gonna hold a bunch of 166 00:06:15,759 --> 00:06:17,680 balloons and become a little dot in the 167 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,000 sky there's actually a lot involved to 168 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,960 make it happen 169 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,680 safely and legally and it's been 170 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,199 research and development 171 00:06:25,199 --> 00:06:27,039 up to

207 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,039 it i took my eight-year-old kid and i 208 00:07:33,039 --> 00:07:34,400 hung him in my hanger and i started 209 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:35,280 messing around 210 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,520 and i called david i go hey i think we 211 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,199 can do this 212 00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:41,599 logan pulled it off first yeah so then 213 00:07:41,599 --> 00:07:43,120 we got the parachute on 214 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,879 and then the absolute very important 215 00:07:44,879 --> 00:07:46,400 thing the most important thing to me is 216 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,520 a safe landing 217 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,319 okay and we're out here it's sketch ball 218 00:07:50,319 --> 00:07:51,440 around there you know there's some 219 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,720 beautiful landing spots 220 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,319 and some really bad ones but even the 221 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:56,080 beautiful ones for you were beautiful 222 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,080 but for me i'm at like 400 223 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,240 jumps so for me it's like ah i'm sure 224 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,840 from that height it's a lot to look at 225 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,199 but look i've talked to a lot of these 226 00:08:03,199 --> 00:08:04,720 people and a lot of the experts 227 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,560 but wait i want to say one other thing 228 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,440 that we forgot and this is the truth 229 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,800 i've never gone up above a few hundred 230 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,160 feet basically 231 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,599 with the entire i've done a few flights 232 00:08:17,599 --> 00:08:20,160 but i've never done this entire system 233 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:20,800 once 234 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520 so the first time i put on the parachute 235 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,280 up in the air and the first time that i 236 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,120 go to these heights will be 237 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,919 live right here first time ever it's a 238 00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:31,280 true flight test program 239 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,959 i mean you're doing it and that's the 240 00:08:32,959 --> 00:08:34,640 truth when i first got here you were 241 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,360 practicing 242 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:36,959 just getting the parachute on but you 243 00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:38,399 were 10 feet off the ground right so 244 00:08:38,399 --> 00:08:39,279 this is a true 245 00:08:39,279 --> 00:08:41,760 first of everything at once and also we 246 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,279 don't know what happens up there 247 00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:44,800 we don't know what happens when it gets 248 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,640 freezing cold what if i can't feel my 249 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:47,600 fingers and 250 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,519 negative five degrees no no we're all 251 00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:51,120 good we'll get to all of it but look i 252 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,800 talked to a lot of people responsible 253 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,880 all the experts behind the scenes that 254 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,560 put all this tech together so uh 255 00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,800 let's check that out so these past 256 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,800 couple days i've been lucky enough to 257 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,519 basically witness this entire project 258 00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:04,320 come together 259 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,720 in this place it started super simple 260 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,560 the idea is just it's david 261 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:11,040 it's the balloons he's floating away 262 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,560 disappearing into the sky 263 00:09:12,560 --> 00:09:14,240 but everything that has to come together 264 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,720 around it is incredibly complex but in 265 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:17,839 order to make it 266 00:09:17,839 --> 00:09:21,200 possible and safe and so what's resulted 267 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,800 is this incredible a-team of all the 268 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880 best experts in aviation and ballooning 269 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,399 and skydiving and everything 270 00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,360 all here so let's go ahead and meet that 271 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,519 team 272 00:09:31,519 --> 00:09:35,040 dude so fun luke haikins he's a world 273 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,720 record setting aerial expert and leading 274 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,200 the team 275 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,399 all right so luke why are they fitting 276 00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:39,760 you with all the tech right now for some 277 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,399 reason i wasn't being the test dummy but 278 00:09:42,399 --> 00:09:44,080 no david's busy getting ready to 279 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,360 practice hanging and doing all that 280 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:46,880 stuff he just can't be in two places at 281 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:47,360 once 282 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,200 so right now i'm gonna just do a jump on 283 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:50,640 the test the equipment to make sure 284 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,720 everything's working right 285 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,480 so what's it like having this superhero 286 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,760 team the number one 287 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,839 skydiving expert the ballooning expert 288 00:09:57,839 --> 00:09:58,800 the weather expert 289 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,399 does that feel like right best case 290 00:10:00,399 --> 00:10:01,839 scenario yeah absolutely right because 291 00:10:01,839 --> 00:10:03,680 everyone everyone has an answer and it's 292 00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:04,160 about 293 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,440 understanding what the point on the 294 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,040 horizon we're driving toward is right 295 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,120 and that being this image of childlike 296 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,760 wonder of 297 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,440 even with all this tech here it's going 298 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,480 to look like david goes out there and 299 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,600 just grabs a bunch of balloons and 300 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,279 floats away right like that is if 301 00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:17,360 it doesn't look good why'd we do it art 302 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,959 thompson he's produced major 303 00:10:18,959 --> 00:10:20,800 breakthroughs in the aerospace industry 304 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:22,560 when we're doing test flights you know 305 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:24,480 everybody thinks we're training david 306 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,240 we're actually training the ground crew 307 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,680 because we're learning 308 00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:29,519 how to work together teamwork always 309 00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,320 important to have teamwork and science 310 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,920 bert pidel he's a third generation 311 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,519 balloon aviation expert 312 00:10:35,519 --> 00:10:36,640 for the ballooning part what's the 313 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,240 biggest question mark for you so there's 314 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:39,040 a number of 315 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,360 little steps along the way before he 316 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,640 cuts himself loose 317 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,360 that i'll be breathing a sigh of relief 318 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:46,160 on 319 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,839 don day he is the weather expert 320 00:10:47,839 --> 00:10:49,519 responsible for making the final call to 321 00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:50,240 launch 322 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,640 so what's your prediction for our actual 323 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,920 launch window it's actually going to 324 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:55,600 cool off a little bit here in the desert 325 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,200 so things are looking very favorable 326 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,000 fingers are crossed fingers 327 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,760 it's looking good amazing hey luke can i 328 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,880 see you for a second yeah 329 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,040 and jim you're in charge of the payload 330 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,160 and the cluster we're looking at so i 331 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,640 want to chat with you okay first of all 332 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,240 there's a lot we're looking at but we're 333 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,600 a little while out for launch where are 334 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,440 we in this process and what's going on 335 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,959 right now yeah we're about an hour and a 336 00:11:20,959 --> 00:11:22,959 half out from launch we got here about 337 00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:25,040 six hours ago we were inflating balloons 338 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,800 for uh some other team members to start 339 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,560 installing the squibs on them 340 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,000 and then we waited for the wind to calm 341 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,440 down a little bit and we started 342 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,800 assembling the cluster 343 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,959 and you said this word squibs and i know 344 00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:36,160 people are hearing the word but might 345 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,000 not know what it is what is a squib this 346 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,760 is is this a slip yeah we got a squib 347 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,279 right here perfect okay so these are a 348 00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:42,640 little electronic match 349 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,880 it's taped to each balloon okay in 350 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,279 different orders like a bunch or a few 351 00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:48,959 and this will actually vent the balloons 352 00:11:48,959 --> 00:11:50,560 which means we pop the balloons 353 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,959 and it lets it come down it's a remote 354 00:11:52,959 --> 00:11:54,079 control 355 00:11:54,079 --> 00:11:57,440 balloon pop trigger exactly beautiful 356 00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,040 okay couldn't have said it better myself 357 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,720 so you're in charge also of the 358 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,200 the sort of go no go checklist as you 359 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,399 mentioned 360 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:06,000 what kind of progress have we made on 361 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,760 that list so far um 362 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,160 it's a big list yeah we limit it down to 363 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,399 the team captains we've got weather 364 00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:14,959 most important we've got atc clearance 365 00:12:14,959 --> 00:12:15,440 can we 366 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,920 go up are we allowed to take off we got 367 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,680 safety team are they ready we got 368 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,680 parachute guys are they ready we got 369 00:12:21,680 --> 00:12:23,120 weather it's 370 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,600 a massive list and uh we'll be ready 371 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,480 when it's done 372 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,639 okay and now i also want to touch on 373 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:29,680 this sort of 374 00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:31,600 magical balloon that i can't help but 375 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,360 look at because i'm the tech guy but 376 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,720 inside this balloon cluster there's one 377 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,560 very special balloon that 378 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,880 makes all of this possible can you talk 379 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,240 about that yeah so we call it the 380 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:41,680 payload and it's what we're actually 381 00:12:41,680 --> 00:12:43,680 starting to make disappear right now so 382 00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:44,800 that when we go up 383 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,720 we don't have what looks like just a 384 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,480 tech catalog hanging above david we want 385 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,240 to keep that sense of childlike wonder 386 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,160 but inside of there is all the avionics 387 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,360 for all of the atc 388 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,279 clearance and all of the electronics to 389 00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:56,639 get the camera signals and the audio 390 00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:57,839 signals back to 391 00:12:57,839 --> 00:12:59,440 for everybody to see it's a lot i've 392 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,040 seen inside of it and 393 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,519 it's like a pc inside a balloon 394 00:13:03,519 --> 00:13:04,320 essentially 395 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:05,760 but a previous version of this that you 396 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,920 guys had actually overheated i mean it's 397 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:09,360 a million degrees out here in the desert 398 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:09,760 but 399 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,519 what precautions have you guys taken 400 00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:13,360 with this new version to make sure that 401 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,040 doesn't happen a bunch of things first 402 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:16,800 of all there's an entire hvac system in 403 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,160 there it's basically an office building 404 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,160 full of hvac at this point nice uh we've 405 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,279 also 406 00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:22,959 put more holes in the shell of the 407 00:13:22,959 --> 00:13:25,440 balloon uh which allows for more airflow 408 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:26,240 and we 409 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:27,920 adjusted some of the design of some of 410 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,040 the plates that all that stuff is 411 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,040 mounted to for better heatsink between 412 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:31,360 the 413 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,040 heating up elements and the air around 414 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,399 it gotcha so 415 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:35,920 you guys have been in this for like two 416 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,279 years and can speak about every little 417 00:13:37,279 --> 00:13:38,800 detail but we have a little piece for 418 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,320 everyone at home to get caught up 419 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:49,839 on what's gone down so check it out 420 00:13:49,839 --> 00:13:52,320 this facility is really unbelievable 421 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,120 they build 422 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,600 every single flying rig for every show 423 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:56,560 every tour 424 00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:58,560 they build all the cirque du soleil 425 00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:00,399 stages and rigging 426 00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:04,240 oh that looks awesome wow 427 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,199 in order to make this a legal aircraft 428 00:14:07,199 --> 00:14:08,320 we had to create 429 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,639 a fiberglass balloon that has all the 430 00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:12,160 equipment that we would need 431 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,279 it has a transponder it has oxygen that 432 00:14:15,279 --> 00:14:17,199 you'll need to make this legal 433 00:14:17,199 --> 00:14:19,680 it's also going to have my parachute and 434 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,199 it has everything that we need to 435 00:14:21,199 --> 00:14:22,240 transmit 436 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,279 audio and video back down to 437 00:14:25,279 --> 00:14:27,920 the ground it'll look just like a 438 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:28,800 balloon 439 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,839 and that will fit right inside of it 440 00:14:31,839 --> 00:14:35,199 the entire point of this is to not have 441 00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:36,560 it look like there's a whole rigging 442 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:37,120 catalog 443 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,600 hanging above david but that it looks 444 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,120 like he's walking up and grabbing a 445 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,800 bunch of balloons and taking off 446 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,160 into the air and have it work every 447 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,000 single time because obviously there's 448 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,760 only one david blaine and we're only 449 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,040 going to do this once 450 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,079 the payload right now it clocks in at 451 00:14:51,079 --> 00:14:53,120 226 pounds 452 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,360 so most of the balloons are just to get 453 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,760 that payload to be neutrally buoyant 454 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,440 the rest of the balloons are to get 455 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,279 david to be neutrally buoyant 456 00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:03,040 and then there's one or two balloons to 457 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,959 actually lift the payload is what we 458 00:15:04,959 --> 00:15:06,160 would call the clue plate 459 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,600 in rigging which means all of the 460 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,760 balloons are connecting to it 461 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,120 and then david is hanging below that 462 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,120 this side here is what pays the bills 463 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,120 this is for uh the camera system 464 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,279 so it's going to take all of the cool 465 00:15:19,279 --> 00:15:20,639 images that are being sent down and it's 466 00:15:20,639 --> 00:15:21,519 going to relay them 467 00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:23,120 up through an airplane that's circling 468 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,880 off in the distance and then relaying 469 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,639 that down live and somehow through some 470 00:15:26,639 --> 00:15:27,920 sort of magic it goes across the 471 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,480 internet 472 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,560 while it's happening this is the device 473 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,120 that has 474 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,240 all of papa's safety stuff on it 475 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,600 these are what the real balloons are 476 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,360 gonna look like 477 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,399 yeah this is what all this stuff is 478 00:15:42,399 --> 00:15:44,959 gonna go in 479 00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:49,600 i have another free hand ready look 480 00:15:49,600 --> 00:16:03,199 all these balloons are for papa wow 481 00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:07,120 yeah it's a tent out of balloons 482 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,959 let's do a picture of us together hold 483 00:16:08,959 --> 00:16:11,519 on ready 484 00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:17,600 okay i love you 485 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,680 so i'm here with some of the expert team 486 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,279 that makes this possible and 487 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:23,680 each one of them has their own super 488 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,440 high level expertise but you sort of all 489 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:26,720 work together as a team i want to start 490 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,279 with you 491 00:16:27,279 --> 00:16:30,320 art thompson now art is 492 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,800 essentially in charge of the payload and 493 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,759 aviation 494 00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:36,560 engineering can you tell us about what's 495 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,199 inside 496 00:16:37,199 --> 00:16:39,600 specifically that payload so inside we 497 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,199 have uh 498 00:16:41,199 --> 00:16:44,240 c2 command and control radios a primary 499 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,240 backup same thing we use for 500 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,759 universities or 501 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:50,560 experimental flights or afrl air force 502 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,000 research lab 503 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,240 and what that does is it sends signals 504 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,199 for 505 00:16:55,199 --> 00:16:57,360 ballasting dropping weight which gives 506 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,480 us lift 507 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,759 or venting balloons right popping 508 00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:02,399 balloons 509 00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:04,959 which allows us to descend so normally 510 00:17:04,959 --> 00:17:05,919 we'd use 511 00:17:05,919 --> 00:17:08,400 a valve which would vent in this case 512 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,480 we're using squibs that actually pop the 513 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,360 balloons 514 00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:12,799 right and this is this is something i 515 00:17:12,799 --> 00:17:14,400 didn't really think about until i 516 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,520 had got here and thought through the 517 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,919 whole thing david controls the balloons 518 00:17:17,919 --> 00:17:18,400 on the way 519 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,600 up he jumps from them that payload's 520 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:21,919 still 521 00:17:21,919 --> 00:17:23,600 floating exactly it needs to be it's 522 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,959 kind of like getting out of a car 523 00:17:24,959 --> 00:17:26,640 without a driver in the driver's seat 524 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,120 right so this apparatus will help you 525 00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:30,960 control it and eventually get it down 526 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,039 right and so we're sending signals a 527 00:17:33,039 --> 00:17:34,080 dtmf 528 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,400 an encoded signal on a military channel 529 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,200 so there's a lot of redundancy 530 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,600 don really makes the call to understand 531 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,400 where those 532 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,960 jet streams are so we can fly it up to 533 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,039 get it away or bring it down 534 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:49,039 and so that's our way of controlling it 535 00:17:49,039 --> 00:17:51,360 gotcha so i should talk to you don 536 00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:53,039 let's talk let's talk weather i think 537 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:54,640 it's safe to say don day number one 538 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,080 weatherman in the world is that 539 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,360 is that a realistic title i love it um 540 00:17:59,360 --> 00:18:02,160 but i think when we talk about balloons 541 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:02,559 the 542 00:18:02,559 --> 00:18:04,400 the natural biggest concern with weather 543 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,160 is the wind right absolutely balloons 544 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,400 are super sensitive to wind and for 545 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,640 david's launch we need wind speeds of 546 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,240 five miles per hour or less 547 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,000 most people can't even feel five miles 548 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,840 an hour but we have to be less than that 549 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,840 or the balloons get uncontrollable 550 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:19,840 a good example is this weekend when we 551 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,520 tried to put you in the tether 552 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,600 it was eight miles an hour that was too 553 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,440 fast and too dangerous i remember that i 554 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,799 was i was trying to get up to 555 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:28,080 experience what he was going to 556 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,840 experience and we couldn't get in those 557 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,360 balloons and do it because 558 00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,880 eight miles an hour of wind was whipping 559 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,640 them all over the place which is crazy 560 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,240 now i'm standing out here now and it's 561 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,760 feeling like hopefully we have good 562 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:38,720 conditions it's 563 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,400 it's early in the morning which from 564 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,480 what i can tell is good for wind 565 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,559 absolutely balloon operations are best 566 00:18:44,559 --> 00:18:46,080 in the morning when it's cool the air is 567 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,880 stable 568 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,320 fortunately we had a cold front come 569 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,080 through northern arizona yesterday 570 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,320 it got really windy but it's like 10 571 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:53,919 degrees cooler this morning it feels 572 00:18:53,919 --> 00:18:55,600 wonderful that's what we want a nice 573 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,400 cool morning feels good and you guys 574 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,080 sent up a test balloon this morning 575 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,000 and how did that go well we measured the 576 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,039 winds aloft and they are very slow 577 00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:07,039 so as david ascends it will be nice and 578 00:19:07,039 --> 00:19:08,880 slow service winds should be light and 579 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,320 variable and 580 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,600 it's not going to be until he gets 581 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,679 higher up as wind speeds increase with 582 00:19:13,679 --> 00:19:15,200 height before he'll start to move very 583 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,679 much 584 00:19:15,679 --> 00:19:17,360 gotcha and the last person i want to 585 00:19:17,360 --> 00:19:18,799 introduce over here 586 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:21,440 is burt now bert again when you do these 587 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,720 balloon things you need 588 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,320 essentially the number one ballooning 589 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,160 expert in the world so happy you're here 590 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:26,960 as well 591 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,600 um and when we talk about i'm beyond 592 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:30,559 happy that he's 593 00:19:30,559 --> 00:19:32,880 here you're leading me through 594 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,039 ballooning step by step and it is 595 00:19:35,039 --> 00:19:36,960 amazing it's a great member of the team 596 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,480 to have and when you're looking at this 597 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,080 balloon cluster i've never seen anything 598 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:40,559 like this 599 00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:42,080 fly before so i'm sure there's a lot of 600 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,760 variables but what's your biggest 601 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,360 concern looking at this stuff 602 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:48,400 uh it's surface winds we need nice calm 603 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:48,880 winds 604 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,799 and it looks like that's what we're 605 00:19:50,799 --> 00:19:52,880 going to have this morning 606 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,799 if it were me sitting here right now i'd 607 00:19:54,799 --> 00:19:57,120 want to be in the air right now 608 00:19:57,120 --> 00:20:00,320 would you also want to jump at the end 609 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,720 i never have david that wasn't the 610 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,320 question 611 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,559 so he mentioned the payload's able to 612 00:20:06,559 --> 00:20:07,440 pop balloons 613 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,159 and drop weight why are we doing that 614 00:20:10,159 --> 00:20:11,280 how does that work 615 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,640 so with a gas balloon to go up 616 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,960 you release weight that allows the 617 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,480 balloon to go up 618 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,120 to pop balloons you're uh decreasing the 619 00:20:21,120 --> 00:20:21,520 weight 620 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,679 uh each balloon weighs uh has a lift of 621 00:20:23,679 --> 00:20:24,880 15 pounds so 622 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,760 you pop a balloon you're 15 pounds heavy 623 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:28,400 and 624 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,880 comes down and we have 60 pounds of sand 625 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,960 so if for some reason 626 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,000 i lose cont which i most likely will not 627 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,440 but if i do lose consciousness 628 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,520 he can basically first of all he can 629 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,360 bring me up which he wouldn't by dumping 630 00:20:41,360 --> 00:20:42,080 the sand 631 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,640 the ballast or he can remote bring me 632 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:45,840 down as well 633 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,600 and the control that they'll have over 634 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,360 the balloon if i couldn't function 635 00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:51,520 was they basically between him and don 636 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,280 can look at the wind because wind is 637 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,240 like a river 638 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,240 so the wind at different altitudes moves 639 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,840 you in different directions so they can 640 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,360 put me where they need to into a 641 00:20:59,360 --> 00:21:01,039 different river of wind which is 642 00:21:01,039 --> 00:21:02,640 a current that would take me where they 643 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,080 need me to be so you already know way 644 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,840 more about the ballooning than i do but 645 00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,760 you're a great student david 646 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,600 excellent but we have a piece already to 647 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:11,039 show you guys have been in this 648 00:21:11,039 --> 00:21:12,320 herculean effort for the last couple 649 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,600 years so we want to we want to put 650 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:14,640 together a piece of show 651 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,320 how that's gone for ballooning so take a 652 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,080 look 653 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,159 in order to pull this project off i 654 00:21:22,159 --> 00:21:23,679 discovered that the balloons i'll be 655 00:21:23,679 --> 00:21:25,600 flying need to be classified as an 656 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,440 experimental aircraft 657 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,760 and any aircraft requires a licensed 658 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,760 pilot to fly it so that's what i had to 659 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,520 become 660 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,600 there are two ways to fly up into the 661 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,039 sky with balloons 662 00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:39,440 using either hot air to force it up or 663 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,000 gases such as helium or hydrogen which 664 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,480 rise 665 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,120 naturally most people learn how to fly 666 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:47,039 balloons using the hot air method 667 00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:48,799 so that's where i started what time is 668 00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:50,080 it 669 00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:54,720 6 15. 670 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,200 going up and down in a balloon is pretty 671 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,320 simple 672 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,880 however intentionally flying it in a 673 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,840 given direction is much more complicated 674 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,840 and the best pilots in the world have a 675 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,880 touch in the finesse that's unrivaled 676 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,960 it was these pilots that i sought out to 677 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:13,200 instruct me and teach me what they know 678 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,200 so this will tell us a lot about what's 679 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,480 going to happen here 680 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,240 and i don't think i've had the vote i 681 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:19,440 wouldn't be surprised if it goes 682 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,840 straight up 683 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,090 exactly like you said 684 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,919 the first lesson was how to safely build 685 00:22:29,919 --> 00:22:31,440 and inflate a balloon 686 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,440 and all of its rigging 687 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,919 okay check airworth in this registration 688 00:22:37,919 --> 00:22:39,520 flight manual which we did 689 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,640 have a safe flight 690 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,960 next i had to learn how to fly both very 691 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,960 high 692 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:54,720 and very low 693 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,480 i had to land and planned 694 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,280 and unplanned locations 695 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,799 good job that was a precision landing 696 00:23:06,799 --> 00:23:15,919 and bring it down in rough winds 697 00:23:15,919 --> 00:23:20,080 so it was a high wind landing where the 698 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,039 basket completely flips over and we had 699 00:23:23,039 --> 00:23:25,600 to pull the air out of the envelope 700 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:27,520 other than hitting power lines that's 701 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,720 kind of 702 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,760 that's as bad as it gets he did good 703 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,799 he did really good after i mastered the 704 00:23:34,799 --> 00:23:36,400 art of flying with heat 705 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,400 i reached out to the most accomplished 706 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,400 gas balloon pilot in the world bert 707 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,440 bedell 708 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,640 bert helped me to get certified so i 709 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,640 could fly lighter than air balloons 710 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:50,559 while what you're doing down the road is 711 00:23:50,559 --> 00:23:52,400 a little different this is good training 712 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:53,520 and i do think 713 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,240 it will come back and you'll think about 714 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:56,640 this 715 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,440 when you're doing it unlike hot air 716 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:00,960 which is noisy 717 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,440 gas ballooning is completely silent and 718 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,919 one of the most amazing experiences i've 719 00:24:05,919 --> 00:24:07,120 ever had 720 00:24:07,120 --> 00:24:08,880 you actually feel like you're part of 721 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,640 the wind as you move along 722 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,159 without any sound whatsoever 723 00:24:14,159 --> 00:24:17,520 so still 724 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:18,590 wow 725 00:24:25,279 --> 00:24:27,360 learning to fly balloons has exceeded 726 00:24:27,360 --> 00:24:28,480 all of my wildest 727 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:30,480 expectations and now that i'm an 728 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,720 officially licensed balloon pilot 729 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,030 i can't wait to fly my new aircraft 730 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,880 all right so we're still about an hour 731 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,080 so from launch which 732 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,600 gives me enough time to selfishly ask 733 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,039 david blaine to give me one of his 734 00:24:47,039 --> 00:24:48,559 favorite magic tricks is that cool i'm 735 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:50,320 gonna show you my favorite card trick 736 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,960 but marquez 737 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,640 and i'm gonna give this card to my 738 00:24:54,640

you see that no but 761 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:43,360 hold on that's just 762 00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:46,320 simple magic right hold your hand palm 763 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:46,960 up 764 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,600 and here's what we do put your other 765 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:50,799 hand on top of it 766 00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:53,520 flat yeah like that yeah yeah and i also 767 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,520 use this card so we use the deuce of 768 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:56,320 hearts 769 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,159 right now watch what i do with the two 770 00:25:58,159 --> 00:26:00,320 you can all see if i take the two and i 771 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,000 place it above your hand don't let go of 772 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,640 your card and i do this 773 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,760 oh yeah see i have your card come on 774 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,960 and look in your hand what okay 775 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,960 what that's yeah see this is why people 776 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,720 don't like believe 777 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,159 all this stuff is like they're like oh 778 00:26:18,159 --> 00:26:19,520 it's david blaine it's just gonna be 779 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,159 another 780 00:26:20,159 --> 00:26:23,440 trick man but that's that's real magic 781 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,520 but you know i think that's kind of a 782 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:26,640 natural segue to 783 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:27,760 the whole physics thing because when 784 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,840 we're doing magic it's it's beautiful 785 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,120 and it's art but 786 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:33,120 despite this also being beautiful in art 787 00:26:33,120 --> 00:26:34,880 there's so much math and physics that 788 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:36,080 have to go into making it 789 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,880 safe you know what i mean so like a 790 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:39,840 choice between 791 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,480 helium and hydrogen balloons for example 792 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,200 we have a piece 793 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,640 where you were talking to diana that 794 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,120 physics girl fellow youtuber and a good 795 00:26:47,120 --> 00:26:48,480 friend of ours where you talk about a 796 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,400 lot of these choices you have to make so 797 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:56,640 let's roll that 798 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,520 what on here do you have that changes or 799 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,279 controls how much you're going up and 800 00:27:01,279 --> 00:27:01,760 down 801 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,200 i have no idea now 802 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,799 so i brought some experiments that i 803 00:27:06,799 --> 00:27:08,480 want to show you to talk about the 804 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:09,600 pressure 805 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,279 change because you're going up in the 806 00:27:11,279 --> 00:27:13,120 atmosphere and the pressure 807 00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:16,559 gets way lower i want to show you an 808 00:27:16,559 --> 00:27:17,679 experiment to talk about 809 00:27:17,679 --> 00:27:19,360 that about the fact that the air gets 810 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,159 thinner okay this is a vacuum chamber 811 00:27:22,159 --> 00:27:23,679 and then i'm just gonna like i'm not 812 00:27:23,679 --> 00:27:25,279 even gonna blow this balloon up 813 00:27:25,279 --> 00:27:28,480 i'm just gonna tie it okay so i'm gonna 814 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,720 turn the vacuum pump on 815 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,799 that little balloon at the bottom is the 816 00:27:32,799 --> 00:27:34,159 one that i didn't 817 00:27:34,159 --> 00:27:36,399 blow up absolutely nothing too yeah and 818 00:27:36,399 --> 00:27:38,000 it's starting to expand but these ones 819 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,200 already have so much gas 820 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:40,360 so cool 821 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,000 the reason i wanted to show you this is 822 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,440 because the first thing i thought about 823 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:46,559 when i saw 824 00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:49,200 these massive balloons is the fact that 825 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:50,559 these will expand 826 00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:52,480 they'll go from eight feet in diameter 827 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,919 to about 10 feet 828 00:27:53,919 --> 00:27:56,000 because they do the same thing as these 829 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,240 balloons so there's more drag 830 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:00,240 on them there's so many things that go 831 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,120 on it'll look bigger but the issue is 832 00:28:03,120 --> 00:28:06,240 if they start popping yeah that's a real 833 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320 yeah if they're just closer together and 834 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,559 touching what happens in your blood 835 00:28:10,559 --> 00:28:12,480 slightly different thing but we have an 836 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:13,760 experiment for that if you want to do 837 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,960 that one yeah okay 838 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,080 perfect i was curious when i heard you 839 00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:18,799 were going up 840 00:28:18,799 --> 00:28:20,399 how fast you're going and how high 841 00:28:20,399 --> 00:28:22,080 you're going because that determines 842 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:23,279 whether you would get 843 00:28:23,279 --> 00:28:25,520 decompression sickness there's a syringe 844 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:26,720 with some fluid in here 845 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,080 i'm gonna pull it back and you'll see 846 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,559 what happens i'm gonna have you guess 847 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:32,200 okay here we go 848 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,120 so you can see it continuing to bubble 849 00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:38,240 i'm just holding it here 850 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:39,440 it's continuing to bubble it's like 851 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:41,760 carbonated water amazing is that what it 852 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:42,720 is yes 853 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,880 so that's exactly what it is so you pull 854 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:45,760 it back it 855 00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,440 keeps bubbling from all over in the 856 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,120 fluid and then you let it go and it 857 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:49,679 stops 858 00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:51,679 so this is exactly what what happens to 859 00:28:51,679 --> 00:28:53,760 your blood more with divers is 860 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,000 decompression sickness because you go 861 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,360 down and the more 862 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,600 pressure you're under the more you can 863 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,240 get nitrogen dissolved into your blood 864 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,240 i mean this is like a really quick and 865 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,919 drastic pressure change so if that 866 00:29:05,919 --> 00:29:06,960 happened to you 867 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,520 that's bad that would be bad yeah this 868 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:11,440 is 17 pounds of lift so 869 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,360 like if you feel this one feel it 870 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:14,880 they're so hard to pull 871 00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,640 it's amazing right incredible so 872 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:18,960 basically if if i had 873 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,360 seven balloons you'd be you'd be good to 874 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:22,799 go seven or eight balloons 875 00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:27,039 that's so cool so you're using helium 876 00:29:27,039 --> 00:29:28,240 which is a great 877 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,279 gas for flying with balloons but 878 00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:33,279 hydrogen gives you a bit more lift 879 00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:34,320 because it's less 880 00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,360 dense helium is 881 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,600 much more difficult to come by more 882 00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:40,559 costly 883 00:29:40,559 --> 00:29:42,240 i wanted to do a demonstration with you 884 00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:43,760 and i wanted to show you 885 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,840 why you're using helium and not hydrogen 886 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,480 so we have some hand sanitizer wrapped 887 00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,320 around a stick 888 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,360 well that is going test number one 889 00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:59,120 helium 890 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,840 that's basically what we expected was 891 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,480 that one clap i heard over there 892 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,520 so now we are going to do the hydrogen 893 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:15,120 test 894 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:20,840 we did it so that's why you avoid 895 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,600 hydrogen 896 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,440 that is awesome that is awesome thank 897 00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,279 you 898 00:30:29,279 --> 00:30:32,240 all right luke so we're about how long 899 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,440 from launch you think 900 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,279 about an hour starting to get serious 901 00:30:35,279 --> 00:30:37,120 now i mean we're in it 902 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,200 i want to go back over the the sort of 903 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,039 main risk factors you mentioned them 904 00:30:41,039 --> 00:30:44,320 at the beginning which were hypoxia 905 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,600 temperature parachute and landing 906 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,919 now if i'm guessing at home i'm thinking 907 00:30:49,919 --> 00:30:51,520 probably the most important immediate 908 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:52,880 thing is hypoxia 909 00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,159 sounds pretty serious but you have 910 00:30:54,159 --> 00:30:56,159 experience with it yeah i mean hypoxia 911 00:30:56,159 --> 00:30:57,279 is a real deal 912 00:30:57,279 --> 00:30:58,960 i had an experience when i was helping 913 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:00,799 felix baumgardner do that jump from the 914 00:31:00,799 --> 00:31:01,519 edge of space 915 00:31:01,519 --> 00:31:03,519 yeah i was filming him i fell off the 916 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:04,880 side of an airplane 917 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,640 um basically unconscious at 26 000 feet 918 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,960 and i woke up at about 10 000 feet in 919 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:11,919 free fall 920 00:31:11,919 --> 00:31:13,279 and that's where the air starts to get 921 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:15,120 thicker the oxygen comes back your brain 922 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:16,080 starts working 923 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,399 i saw my altimeter i mean it was scary 924 00:31:18,399 --> 00:31:19,120 stuff 925 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,519 so i take that very serious and i made 926 00:31:21,519 --> 00:31:23,360 it on the outside seem jokey and funny 927 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:23,679 but 928 00:31:23,679 --> 00:31:25,360 as we get closer this stuff gets real 929 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,519 serious now so when david's going up and 930 00:31:27,519 --> 00:31:29,120 he's getting into the the thinner and 931 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:30,399 thinner atmosphere will you be able to 932 00:31:30,399 --> 00:31:33,279 tell like if he's losing it a little bit 933 00:31:33,279 --> 00:31:36,080 yeah i mean i feel that i can david did 934 00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,600 a great thing he brought in some friends 935 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,600 that know him know his personality 936 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:41,679 and i'm gonna refer to them a little bit 937 00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:43,760 just if they feel that he's acting 938 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:46,159 different than he is normally okay uh i 939 00:31:46,159 --> 00:31:46,880 might take 940 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:49,200 their advice in and weigh that into my 941 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,240 decisions on 942 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,039 what he needs to do gotcha and so i'm 943 00:31:53,039 --> 00:31:53,440 here 944 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,159 thinking david blaine might be the guy 945 00:31:56,159 --> 00:31:57,840 who can train for 946 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,760 oxygen deprivation like if you can train 947 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:01,919 for this he can you know breath holding 948 00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:03,120 techniques that type of thing is that 949 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:03,919 gonna work 950 00:32:03,919 --> 00:32:05,840 i mean it drives me crazy because he 951 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,159 holds his breath so long and he's so 952 00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:10,159 good at the oxygen part but i'm like 953 00:32:10,159 --> 00:32:12,320 it's serious no one can overcome at 954 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:14,000 certain altitudes it's just 955 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,600 what happens but we rode up in an 956 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,200 airplane together 957 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,880 and we put pulse ox on our fingers 958 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,880 measuring our oxygen concentration in 959 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,679 our blood 960 00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:24,960 we climbed up to 25 000 feet and he was 961 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,600 actually better than i was and i got 20 962 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,120 000 jumps i spent half my life in the 963 00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:29,600 air 964 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,320 he processes oxygen a little bit better 965 00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:33,360 there's me 966 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,519 i was pr i did it to prove to him that 967 00:32:35,519 --> 00:32:36,559 it doesn't work 968 00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:38,240 yeah and it actually worked a little bit 969 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,760 so now i'm going to be fighting that 970 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:40,640 today i think 971 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,320 i mean if he's in his own good hands and 972 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:44,240 he's trained for it that's good so 973 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,640 i mean i'm also thinking like if he does 974 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:47,360 get to 975 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,360 that height and it does become a problem 976 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,120 you have the remote control 977 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,360 as a last resort to maybe bring it lower 978 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,240 and and 979 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,919 sort of feel like he's getting back we 980 00:32:55,919 --> 00:32:57,600 can i try to not even think about that 981 00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:58,159 because 982 00:32:58,159 --> 00:33:00,880 if it's me and i land and i'm okay i'm 983 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,440 pissed 984 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,120 yeah i'm coming to me and i'm yelling 985 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,039 you wrecked my stunt what are you doing 986 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:06,159 you're not my dad 987 00:33:06,159 --> 00:33:09,600 all that um so it's a fine line between 988 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:10,559 what's safe 989 00:33:10,559 --> 00:33:12,720 and what david's all about is doing 990 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:13,600 amazing 991 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:15,600 intense things gotcha well we have a 992 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,720 little piece on him 993 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,799 actually helping other people learn his 994 00:33:18,799 --> 00:33:20,720 breath holding technique 995 00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,640 and actually getting them better at it 996 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,080 and so if it works it works 997 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:32,500 so let's check that out all right 998 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,840 there's one technique that i started 999 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,519 when i was five years old 1000 00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:41,039 that i've spent the last four decades 1001 00:33:41,039 --> 00:33:44,799 learning how to do better and better 1002 00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:46,320 the technique that i've learned for 1003 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,480 holding my breath during drowned alive 1004 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,679 was essential 1005 00:33:49,679 --> 00:33:51,519 and even allowed me to break a world 1006 00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:53,440 record just by learning to control my 1007 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,080 breathing and slow my heart rate 1008 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,159 one of the possible threats on my next 1009 00:33:58,159 --> 00:34:00,480 stunt is a potentially fatal condition 1010 00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,960 called hypoxia 1011 00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,080 hypoxia is when you don't get enough 1012 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:09,200 oxygen because you go too high and 1013 00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,119 you're not in a pressurized cabin like 1014 00:34:11,119 --> 00:34:13,359 an airplane so you're breathing the air 1015 00:34:13,359 --> 00:34:13,839 that has 1016 00:34:13,839 --> 00:34:16,240 less oxygen when you become hypoxic you 1017 00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:18,399 have no idea what you're doing so you're 1018 00:34:18,399 --> 00:34:21,280 completely foggy it's like you're drunk 1019 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,200 but the breathing technique can actually 1020 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,520 help me override hypoxia by keeping my 1021 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,720 blood oxygen levels saturated and high 1022 00:34:28,720 --> 00:34:31,280 we did the first reading at tankoff 1023 00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:33,359 which is 200 feet 1024 00:34:33,359 --> 00:34:36,399 i was 98 02 1025 00:34:36,399 --> 00:34:39,440 and david was 97. so as we go up we'll 1026 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,280 see what we get 1027 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,679 as we ascended to higher altitudes 1028 00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:50,399 luke's oxygen levels began to drop 1029 00:34:50,399 --> 00:34:52,399 by using the same breathing techniques 1030 00:34:52,399 --> 00:34:53,440 that i've learned 1031 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,359 i was able to keep my blood oxygen 1032 00:34:55,359 --> 00:34:57,440 levels normal more than three miles 1033 00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:09,599 above sea level 1034 00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:11,920 once we reached our peak altitude my 1035 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,079 oxygen level was dropping as well 1036 00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:17,119 so i needed to breathe puro2 to recover 1037 00:35:17,119 --> 00:35:19,200 i'll need to improve my technique to 1038 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,760 prevent hypoxia 1039 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,760 there's no footage there's nothing of 1040 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,160 someone going up to extreme altitudes 1041 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,400 using this technique and being perfectly 1042 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,760 fine 1043 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:35,920 look at this 1044 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:41,440 he's at 8502 level 98 1045 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:43,440 when i'm shooting my specials people 1046 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,599 always ask me if what i'm doing is real 1047 00:35:45,599 --> 00:35:47,359 or is it magic 1048 00:35:47,359 --> 00:35:49,440 one of the things i often demonstrate to 1049 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,480 answer them 1050 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:51,920 is teaching them how to hold their 1051 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:53,680 breath longer than they realize is 1052 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:54,880 possible 1053 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,880 some of them even find it relevant to 1054 00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:58,079 what they do 1055 00:35:58,079 --> 00:35:59,760 winter's like right around the corner 1056 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,119 and learning how to breathe 1057 00:36:01,119 --> 00:36:03,280 properly this is a once-in-a-lifetime 1058 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,000 opportunity 1059 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:10,240 yeah i know it's gonna benefit me 1060 00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:12,720 surfing even if i can get to like 1061 00:36:12,720 --> 00:36:14,160 two minutes two and a half minutes i'll 1062 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,640 be happy before we start we're gonna do 1063 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:17,599 a test 1064 00:36:17,599 --> 00:36:19,200 i'm gonna say take a deep breath in 1065 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:20,960 everybody hold hold your hand 1066 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,440 up take a deep breath in and hold 1067 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,280 the average of human breath holding is 1068 00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:32,160 about a minute 1069 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:37,200 that was 141 very impressive 1070 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,800 good it's a minute 45. most people don't 1071 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:42,400 realize that they can hold their breath 1072 00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:43,920 for longer than a minute 1073 00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,599 and i've taught many people over the 1074 00:36:45,599 --> 00:36:47,760 years how to hold their breath for 1075 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,240 three to four minutes don't try that on 1076 00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:51,359 your own but 1077 00:36:51,359 --> 00:36:53,040 so now i'm gonna explain the process to 1078 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,560 you you're going to take a deep breath 1079 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,400 in then we're going to hold for a second 1080 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,079 and then we're going to exhale for about 1081 00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:01,280 10 seconds 1082 00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,000 it's going to flush the co2 out of your 1083 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,440 bloodstream 1084 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,680 you will get numb feelings in your lips 1085 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,560 you might get tingly in your fingers 1086 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,480 and imagine you're blowing a toy boat 1087 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,240 over the surface of a pool and don't do 1088 00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,920 it to the point that you're blacking out 1089 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:23,280 but push it enough 1090 00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:27,680 and then a huge breath in and hold 1091 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,240 good feel tingly the air is overflowing 1092 00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:31,520 it feels like it's going to come out 1093 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:32,320 just hold 1094 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,079 just hold it relax 1095 00:37:36,079 --> 00:37:39,119 recover breath you purge so hard that 1096 00:37:39,119 --> 00:37:42,800 you blocked yourself out 1097 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:46,640 james 1098 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,760 hold on just keep recovering 1099 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,520 it's like crazy back down in front of me 1100 00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,920 i think the last one when you were doing 1101 00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,200 the purging we're over 1102 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,280 doing it it's so easy to black out on 1103 00:37:59,280 --> 00:38:00,240 that 1104 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:02,560 we're gonna do just a few minutes of 1105 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,240 this recovery breathing 1106 00:38:04,240 --> 00:38:08,240 and then we're going to get in the pool 1107 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:10,560 if we get to 3 minutes and 30 seconds 1108 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:15,520 we've passed houdini's lifelong record 1109 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,760 if we get to 4 minutes we're at the 1110 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,079 elite navy seal guys we're at the very 1111 00:38:20,079 --> 00:38:21,740 top 1112 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,640 huge breath in 1113 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:34,000 and go under when you're ready 1114 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,119 just get as comfortable as you can give 1115 00:38:37,119 --> 00:38:39,920 me a signal if you're okay 1116 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:45,200 give me a signal if you're okay 1117 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:46,700 good three minutes is great 1118 00:38:58,839 --> 00:39:02,000 recovery 1119 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,280 that's 425 1120 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:24,350 cup three 1121 00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,839 445 is no joke that's that's serious for 1122 00:39:29,839 --> 00:39:31,280 your first time like 1123 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,560 so that's completely changed how i surf 1124 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,079 like sometimes before a big drop i'm 1125 00:39:36,079 --> 00:39:37,520 just like well just in case i don't 1126 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:38,720 catch us 1127 00:39:38,720 --> 00:39:40,079 and then get the drop and then like in 1128 00:39:40,079 --> 00:39:42,000 the wave exhale 1129 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,440 how was your little black out in the 1130 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,839 chairs i felt like someone put a hat on 1131 00:39:45,839 --> 00:39:46,480 my head 1132 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,560 you're like where am i or yeah you get 1133 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,640 lost like i didn't know where i was 1134 00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:53,440 once we got past houdini i was like well 1135 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:54,880 yeah 1136 00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,800 we got past the navy seals yeah yeah 1137 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,760 yeah i'm happy with it 1138 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,160 do not do this on your own when nobody's 1139 00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,680 looking because what happens is now that 1140 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:05,200 you have the technique 1141 00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,280 if you do it to the point that he did 1142 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,200 when we were practicing he blacked out 1143 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,480 from pushing too hard 1144 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,319 and if you black out underwater no one's 1145 00:40:12,319 --> 00:40:13,520 watching you 1146 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,480 shallow water death is is very easy so 1147 00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,130 yeah this just got dark 1148 00:40:20,079 --> 00:40:21,599 tomorrow you guys will have like a 1149 00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:23,359 slight little bit of a headache but it 1150 00:40:23,359 --> 00:40:24,800 goes away fast 1151 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,680 i i completely forgot to say that but 1152 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,200 it's a co2 bullet but it goes away 1153 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,480 i'll teach you how to do it yeah awesome 1154 00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:35,040 so 1155 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:37,200 i i actually gave that a little bit of a 1156 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,800 shot i wasn't underwater or anything but 1157 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,400 i went from like a minute 1158 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:42,319 to around two which i was pretty proud 1159 00:40:42,319 --> 00:40:44,800 of you further when we have time 1160 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,560 amazing so the one thing i want to 1161 00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:48,079 re-emphasize is 1162 00:40:48,079 --> 00:40:52,000 it is very very dangerous to do that so 1163 00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,040 nobody try to do that when i do it once 1164 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,960 again i have an incredible team around 1165 00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,880 me and i'm supervised and i learn all 1166 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,640 the skills so there's no risk of a 1167 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:02,000 shallow water death 1168 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,839 by doing it on your couch i also don't 1169 00:41:04,839 --> 00:41:06,079 recommend 1170 00:41:06,079 --> 00:41:07,599 i think the training is the most 1171 00:41:07,599 --> 00:41:09,119 important piece but i think 1172 00:41:09,119 --> 00:41:11,760 i just want to go zoom out for a second 1173 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:13,280 you are 1174 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,240 going to grab a bunch of balloons float 1175 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,040 up 1176 00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,520 into the sunrise over this majestic 1177 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,480 landscape 1178 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,440 until you're a tiny dot and then you're 1179 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:24,800 going to let go of the balloons 1180 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,520 with a parachute on and skydive down to 1181 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:28,640 the ground 1182 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:31,839 that is wild so i just i just like rough 1183 00:41:31,839 --> 00:41:32,400 you guys 1184 00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,240 we have a perfect weather window we need 1185 00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:35,520 to take advantage of 1186 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,240 so we need to launch no later than 7 45. 1187 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:39,520 so is everything okay 1188 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,280 everything is okay but we don't want to 1189 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,960 push mother nature we've got a great 1190 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:44,480 opportunity so let's take it so 1191 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:45,680 everything's shifted then 1192 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,920 everything's shifted no later than 7 45. 1193 00:41:47,920 -->

matters and 1211 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,680 i just want to talk about that one extra 1212 00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:19,280 factor so we talked about 1213 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,040 we talked about hypoxia and how that's a 1214 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:22,640 big deal we talked about 1215 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,000 the parachuting and the landing and 1216 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,520 that's also super important but 1217 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:26,560 temperature 1218 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:27,839 is another little one you don't think 1219 00:42:27,839 --> 00:42:29,520 about too much when you're floating off 1220 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:30,720 into the clouds 1221 00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:32,000 not only does the atmosphere gets 1222 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,760 thinner with low oxygen 1223 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,839 but it gets way colder i was told it's 1224 00:42:35,839 --> 00:42:37,760 about three and a half degrees celsius 1225 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:38,319 or about 1226 00:42:38,319 --> 00:42:40,160 seven degrees fahrenheit colder for 1227 00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:41,760 every thousand feet you go 1228 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,319 up so it's getting real cold up there 1229 00:42:44,319 --> 00:42:45,920 now i'm from new york david's from new 1230 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:47,200 york we're used to cold weather hands 1231 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:48,640 but if you're getting your parachute 1232 00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,000 down and putting it on and your hands 1233 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,760 are too cold that can be a problem 1234 00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,440 so you got to get a little bit ready for 1235 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,000 cold weather too it's going to be cold 1236 00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,040 let's check out how we train for the 1237

00:43:05,839 for as long as i possibly can there's a 1241 00:43:05,839 --> 00:43:06,800 lot of pro athletes 1242 00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:09,119 that can't do it okay when you know 1243 00:43:09,119 --> 00:43:10,079 meaning they jump 1244 00:43:10,079 --> 00:43:12,079 out in like 30 seconds yeah 30 to 40 1245 00:43:12,079 --> 00:43:13,680 seconds they come out now the way this 1246 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,599 helps in my next stunt 1247 00:43:15,599 --> 00:43:18,000 is when i'm going up on the balloons i'm 1248 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,839 riding all the way up 1249 00:43:19,839 --> 00:43:22,240 basically every thousand feet you lose 1250 00:43:22,240 --> 00:43:24,000 three and a half degrees 1251 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,560 on my first jump that i did from 25 000 1252 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,160 feet i had a full face 1253 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:31,359 mask on and the first breath that i took 1254 00:43:31,359 --> 00:43:34,720 the whole thing iced over so my skydive 1255 00:43:34,720 --> 00:43:36,480 when i was jumping down i had to like 1256 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,280 look through this 1257 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,079 little hole 1258 00:43:42,079

--> 00:43:52,079 cryogenic i wanna see if our 1262 00:43:52,079 --> 00:43:53,200 temperatures drop 1263 00:43:53,200 --> 00:44:00,480 so you'll be 98.3 1264 00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,839 that's lit we

stunt i do have to learn 1282 00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:08,400 when i'm going up to these heights how 1283 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,040 to stay completely coherent 1284 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:13,839 and hypoxia kicks in much quicker when 1285 00:45:13,839 --> 00:45:18,660 you're in an extreme condition 1286 00:45:22,240 --> 00:45:26,350 how you doing in there bro it's 1287 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:40,000 we'll good two in a row 1288 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,599 now it's good 1289 00:45:45,599 --> 00:45:49,440 three this man 1290 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,560 just tried to go again for three 1291 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,440 you want to go for a third time yeah 1292 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:56,000 okay 1293 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:57,920 just wanted to triple check he's gonna 1294 00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,000 be there for nine minutes 1295 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:06,480 dude 1296 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:09,520 this is the long side i think anybody 1297 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,040 would ever think about doing 1298 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:17,680 you got about 25 seconds left bro 1299 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,760 i do not know how 1300 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,200 that was insane 1301 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,000 wow that was good let's see if the 1302 00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:29,980 temperature drops 1303 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,800 oh 1304 00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:47,040 you did it bro yeah you're gonna be good 1305 00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:51,040 so i guess one last uh important bit is 1306 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,720 well we went over the image right he's 1307 00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:54,160 floating up on these balloons 1308 00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:57,280 and i love the art of it like it's just 1309 00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,359 a silhouette of a guy floating up over 1310 00:46:59,359 --> 00:47:00,640 the horizon 1311 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,440 just with balloons right but in order to 1312 00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:05,680 do that he doesn't have a parachute on 1313 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:07,839 yeah and so this was an idea you guys 1314 00:47:07,839 --> 00:47:09,440 went back and forth about 1315 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,839 how when when does he get it on i almost 1316 00:47:11,839 --> 00:47:13,440 wish i hadn't brought it up he's like is 1317 00:47:13,440 --> 00:47:14,800 there a way and i'm like oh there's 1318 00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:16,079 always a way to do something we put a 1319 00:47:16,079 --> 00:47:17,359 man on the moon we could figure out how 1320 00:47:17,359 --> 00:47:18,079 to do this but 1321 00:47:18,079 --> 00:47:20,000 yeah then i was regretting it for quite 1322 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,000 a while so we've been practicing putting 1323 00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:23,040 this parachute on 1324 00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,680 but for me it's it's the most critical 1325 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:26,400 portion 1326 00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,240 i mean he could land and crash land with 1327 00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:29,680 his parachute out in a 1328 00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,079 bummer area and hurt his ankle break his 1329 00:47:32,079 --> 00:47:33,920 leg but if he doesn't get that parachute 1330 00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:34,319 on 1331 00:47:34,319 --> 00:47:36,240 and he has to come out of that thing in 1332 00:47:36,240 --> 00:47:37,599 a hurry like 1333 00:47:37,599 --> 00:47:40,319 there's no options i mean that is real 1334 00:47:40,319 --> 00:47:42,319 if he doesn't get that on in my 1335 00:47:42,319 --> 00:47:44,319 mind that's the equivalent of not making 1336 00:47:44,319 --> 00:47:45,359 it and so he's 1337 00:47:45,359 --> 00:47:47,119 he's pulling the parachute down he's 1338 00:47:47,119 --> 00:47:48,640 he's putting it on how long does that 1339 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:49,040 take 1340 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,119 yeah so the fastest we've been able to 1341 00:47:51,119 --> 00:47:53,520 do it is around two and a half minutes 1342 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:55,440 so think he's climbing at 500 feet a 1343 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,520 minute yeah and we're gonna start that 1344 00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,800 at roughly 1345 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,319 four or five thousand feet above the 1346 00:48:00,319 --> 00:48:02,160 ground takes that long 1347 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,960 he's getting colder less oxygen so i'm 1348 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,559 gonna be hurrying him and pushing him to 1349 00:48:06,559 --> 00:48:07,200 do 1350 00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:10,240 um what i think is right but right um 1351 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:11,839 he's the only one up there you know once 1352 00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:13,680 his feet leave the ground it's on him 1353 00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,760 and so then parachute gets on let's say 1354 00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:16,880 that goes great 1355 00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,200 yep then you guys got to land and you 1356 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:20,079 guys went up and 1357 00:48:20,079 --> 00:48:22,640 looked at some sites and i mean there's 1358 00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,640 a lot to choose from out here i'm seeing 1359 00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,960 mesas and desert and stuff like that how 1360 00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:27,920 did that go 1361 00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:30,720 so um when he got here the other day i 1362 00:48:30,720 --> 00:48:32,400 came out did a site inspection i was 1363 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:33,760 like oh we're going to the desert we're 1364 00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,520 not going to get to go to new york yet 1365 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,000 and 1366 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:37,200 we're going to be in the desert it's 1367 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,880 going to be great and then i got here 1368 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,480 and i started flying around and checking 1369 00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:40,960 it out 1370 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,800 yeah and david got here a couple days 1371 00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,040 later and i said david do not get in the 1372 00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:45,839 helicopter 1373 00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:47,920 don't go look until we have time to look 1374 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,440 at a map and talk about it 1375 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:51,040 because it's really scary oh luke it's 1376 00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:52,559 no problem and i'm like man 1377 00:48:52,559 --> 00:48:54,240 don't get in the helicopter you would 1378 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:55,839 know you went for a ride 1379 00:48:55,839 --> 00:48:58,079 and came down and then it got very real 1380 00:48:58,079 --> 00:48:59,920 for him yeah as real as it's been for me 1381 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:00,800 the whole time 1382 00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,200 that i have all these gnarly spots and 1383 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:04,960 where am i going to land luke i mean 1384 00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:06,720 i can land in the beautiful nice grass 1385 00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:08,319 but this is mountains and hills and 1386 00:49:08,319 --> 00:49:09,599 cliffs and 1387 00:49:09,599 --> 00:49:11,920 so we talked him off the fence a little 1388 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,160 bit everything came around and now 1389 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,359 he's uh nervously excited i think to 1390 00:49:17,359 --> 00:49:18,240 make this happen 1391 00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:20,160 okay well if anyone's good to train him 1392 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,599 it's you you've done 1393 00:49:21,599 --> 00:49:23,280 how many launches you think i got over 1394 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,440 20 000 skydives so i feel like i'd trust 1395 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:26,160 you but 1396 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,480 it takes a lot of training and 1397 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,000 especially with skydiving a lot of 1398 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,119 safety precautions so 1399 00:49:31,119 --> 00:49:32,319 that's what you guys have been doing we 1400 00:49:32,319 --> 00:49:34,000 got a little piece about how he's gotten 1401 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:34,960 better at 1402 00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:44,400 getting out of a plane the day of 1403 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:45,119 ascension 1404 00:49:45,119 --> 00:49:47,680 if i have to release from the balloons 1405 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,000 i'll need to skydive down to save my 1406 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:52,319 life 1407 00:49:52,319 --> 00:49:54,240 i want to get as close as possible to 1408 00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:55,760 500 jumps so i feel 1409 00:49:55,760 --> 00:50:16,400 safe landing over almost any area 1410 00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,440 all right nicely done 1411 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,359 good job i've been learning how to 1412 00:50:21,359 --> 00:50:23,200 develop a skill that i've never had 1413 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,280 and it is the most incredible skill to 1414 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,450 learn 1415 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,280 my first 100 jumps were done with scott 1416 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:37,760 smith 1417 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,839 who's a world champion freestyle 1418 00:50:39,839 --> 00:50:41,040 skydiver 1419 00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:44,559 and a great instructor i repetitiously 1420 00:50:44,559 --> 00:50:47,200 jumped sometimes 15 times a day so i 1421 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,960 could have complete awareness of 1422 00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,960 everything around me 1423 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,800 and then how to land safely in a 1424 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,960 specific area 1425 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:56,960 which actually turns out to be the 1426 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,640 hardest part 1427 00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:01,359 i

sorry 1459 00:52:03,359 --> 00:52:06,160 20 years ago i was here training for my 1460 00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,160 stunt vertigo where i stood on a pillar 1461 00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,640 for 36 hours and had to jump 100 feet 1462 00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:12,160 into cardboard boxes 1463 00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:14,480 and my coach was pat mcgowan who's in 1464 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:16,000 this picture right here 1465 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,280 in 2011 somebody collided right into him 1466 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,240 and he passed away pat his example is 1467 00:52:22,240 --> 00:52:23,280 one he did nothing 1468 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:24,480 and those are the ones that stick with 1469 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:26,160 me the ones where i can't say oh i 1470 00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,119 wouldn't have done that i would have 1471 00:52:27,119 --> 00:52:28,640 done this i mean it can happen to them 1472 00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:29,119 it just 1473 00:52:29,119 --> 00:52:41,200 sets home it can happen to anybody 1474 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,520 during the stunt i'll have no idea where 1475 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,280 the winds are gonna take me 1476 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,520 so i need to learn how to get to a spot 1477 00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:49,280 where i can land safely with my 1478 00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:50,559 parachute 1479 00:52:50,559 --> 00:52:53,520 money that's why i reached out to luke 1480 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:54,400 akins 1481 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,200 a man who jumped from 25 000 feet out of 1482 00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,280 an airplane with no parachute and landed 1483 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,079 in a small 1484 00:53:00,079 --> 00:53:03,119 net there's no one that i would trust 1485 00:53:03,119 --> 00:53:04,720 more than luke to teach me how to 1486 00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:07,440 navigate through the sky and land safely 1487 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,520 clear of buildings and power lines and 1488 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:11,839 any other dangerous obstacle 1489 00:53:11,839 --> 00:53:15,040 yeah buddy my goal is to get him so that 1490 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:16,319 anywhere he drops 1491 00:53:16,319 --> 00:53:19,680 he can land so in order to do that you 1492 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,480 have to track your body through the air 1493 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:24,480 tracking is a way of trying to get to a 1494 00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,079 specific location much 1495 00:53:26,079 --> 00:53:29,520 faster basically you're flying 1496 00:53:29,520 --> 00:53:32,319 luke has been teaching me how to track 1497 00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:34,160 and when you track you fly 1498 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:39,520 really fast and it feels so good 1499 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,280 it's like you're cutting through the air 1500 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:59,599 and it's so amazing 1501 00:53:59,599 --> 00:54:01,440 this is the most exciting project that 1502 00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,079 i've ever worked on 1503 00:54:04,079 --> 00:54:06,079 learning to skydive from some of the 1504 00:54:06,079 --> 00:54:07,839 best coaches in the world has been 1505 00:54:07,839 --> 00:54:09,599 unlike anything i could have ever 1506 00:54:09,599 --> 00:54:13,200 imagined 1507 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,680 i love skydiving and being able to do 1508 00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,240 this over and over and actually learn it 1509 00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:20,880 is amazing i have a better understanding 1510 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,480 of the challenges i'll face for 1511 00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:23,599 ascension 1512 00:54:23,599 --> 00:54:25,440 and with all the preparation that we've 1513 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,839 done i feel that i can actually enjoy 1514 00:54:27,839 --> 00:54:32,720 this one for the first time 1515 00:54:32,720 --> 00:54:34,800 the feeling of flying a balloon it's 1516 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:36,799 like floating 1517 00:54:36,799 --> 00:54:38,480 and the feeling of jumping out of a 1518 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:40,400 plane it's like flying 1519 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,400 so between floating and flying these are 1520 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,160 the two things that i've always dreamed 1521 00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,640 of as a kid 1522 00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,839 putting this together that surpasses any 1523 00:54:49,839 --> 00:54:59,760 of my dreams 1524 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:01,280 all right status update time welcome 1525 00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:02,960 back jim how you doing 1526 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,720 pretty good how's the cluster doing it's

1533 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,720 uplift that we're expecting 1534 00:55:14,720 --> 00:55:16,559 so we're we're in the final stages here 1535 00:55:16,559 --> 00:55:18,000 for sure 1536 00:55:18,000

1551 00:55:42,240 --> 00:55:44,319 what's going on first of all how many 1552 00:55:44,319 --> 00:55:45,520 balloons i'm looking at this thing it's 1553 00:55:45,520 --> 00:55:47,280 like 30 feet tall something like that 1554 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,520 it's closer to 50 feet tall 50 feet tall 1555 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,200 and there's 52 balloons 1556 00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:54,640 52 52 cards yeah that may have something 1557 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:55,359 to do with it 1558 00:55:55,359 --> 00:55:58,160 i like that um and the balloons have 1559 00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,359 helium in them 1560 00:55:59,359 --> 00:56:01,599 how much if you just let those go how 1561 00:56:01,599 --> 00:56:02,400 much lift 1562 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,079 i guess that's a math question how many 1563 00:56:04,079 --> 00:56:05,839 pounds of lift is 50 1564 00:56:05,839 --> 00:56:08,319 helium balloons right now yeah so an 1565 00:56:08,319 --> 00:56:10,480 8-foot balloon gives us about 15 pounds 1566 00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:12,160 of uplift most of this is an eight foot 1567 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:13,040 diameter balloon 1568 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:14,720 we also have five and a half and four 1569 00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:16,480 foot diameter balloons and the smaller 1570 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:17,040 the balloon 1571 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:18,640 the less the lift the more we can dial 1572 00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,319 it in gotcha and when you're popping 1573 00:56:20,319 --> 00:56:21,680 balloons are you only popping small ones 1574 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,280 or big ones we're only popping big ones 1575 00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:24,720 actually so those those are for big 1576 00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:25,359 adjustment 1577 00:56:25,359 --> 00:56:28,559 gotcha um what is uh 1578 00:56:28,559 --> 00:56:29,599 are you will you be able to speak to 1579 00:56:29,599 --> 00:56:31,599 david in the air uh i will not 1580 00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:32,880 which i think david will be thrilled 1581 00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,720 about luke however will have a direct 1582 00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:36,079 line with him and i think dessa will as 1583 00:56:36,079 --> 00:56:36,559 well 1584 00:56:36,559 --> 00:56:39,440 okay oh that's awesome um where does 1585 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:40,559 this go 1586 00:56:40,559 --> 00:56:43,040 when it's done so we have obviously 1587 00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,480 established we have controls 1588 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,720 i like there's a plane here's a quick 1589 00:56:46,720 --> 00:56:48,960 anecdote anytime i'm on camera 1590 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,480 worst possible noise conditions i just 1591 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,160 bring the noise with me but we'll set an 1592 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:53,359 airfield that's fine 1593 00:56:53,359 --> 00:56:56,400 um but once this thing is jumped from it 1594 00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:57,359 gets brought down 1595 00:56:57,359 --> 00:56:58,880 i guess somewhere in the desert is there 1596 00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:00,720 a location correct so the the flight 1597 00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:02,640 team will be watching its uh flight 1598 00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:03,280 pattern 1599 00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:04,960 and will be the same as david needs to 1600 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,480 find a landing spot they're gonna find a 1601 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:08,319 safe landing spot for this start venting 1602 00:57:08,319 --> 00:57:09,119 balloons 1603 00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:10,799 to get it to be negatively buoyant so it 1604 00:57:10,799 --> 00:57:12,559 starts coming down and as it gets to the 1605 00:57:12,559 --> 00:57:14,000 ground they're going to dump some remote 1606 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:14,799 ballast 1607 00:57:14,799 --> 00:57:16,559 to slow its descent rate so it just 1608 00:57:16,559 --> 00:57:18,240 touches down gently and then we have a 1609 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:19,599 recovery team to go pick it up 1610 00:57:19,599 --> 00:57:21,200 do you already know how many balloons 1611 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:22,880 you have to pop to recover it well it's 1612 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:24,400 going to depend on the flight and what 1613 00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,079 we have to do to keep david's speed 1614 00:57:26,079 --> 00:57:27,599 correct and all that kind of stuff but 1615 00:57:27,599 --> 00:57:29,119 those guys are excellent at 1616 00:57:29,119 --> 00:57:30,960 thinking on the spot and and with 1617 00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:32,240 situational awareness and making the 1618 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:33,200 right decision 1619 00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:36,240 gotcha sometimes those balloons actually 1620 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:37,920 sort of splay out a little bit like when 1621 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,040 i was looking at 1622 00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:40,720 my eight mile an hour wind day when i 1623 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,400 wanted to go up there and feel it 1624 00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:44,480 but i didn't they kind of just like 1625 00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:46,480 spread out a lot and that seemed like 1626 00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,640 either really good or really bad for 1627 00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,160 catching a lot of wind 1628 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:51,200 what do these look like when they're 1629 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,720 floating up in the air when they're 1630 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,079 floating up in the air actually 1631 00:57:54,079 --> 00:57:56,640 the the cluster behaves as one big 1632 00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:57,440 object 1633 00:57:57,440 --> 00:57:59,119 so then they're not tethered to the 1634 00:57:59,119 --> 00:58:00,960 ground right so when the wind hits them 1635 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,280 they just move with the wind as opposed 1636 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,200 to your cluster when we tried to put you 1637 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:06,559 up the other day was tethered to the 1638 00:58:06,559 --> 00:58:06,960 ground 1639 00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:08,240 and there weren't enough balloons to 1640 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:09,920 make it one big object so the wind comes 1641 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:10,720 through and 1642 00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,720 okay everything goes wild here's a maybe 1643 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,079 a little weird question 1644 00:58:14,079 --> 00:58:17,280 what if a balloon pops unintentionally 1645 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,960 like in some testing it's happened 1646 00:58:18,960 --> 00:58:20,480 before one of the balloons is popped 1647 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,079 yeah absolutely what's what's going on 1648 00:58:22,079 --> 00:58:23,839 then that's why we have ballast right so 1649 00:58:23,839 --> 00:58:25,599 david's got a couple of bags on him that 1650 00:58:25,599 --> 00:58:26,559 he can work with 1651 00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:28,480 and then we also have a remote 1652 00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,599 deployable ballast 1653 00:58:29,599 --> 00:58:32,480 inside the payload so if the balloon 1654 00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:33,839 pops and that affects our lift and our 1655 00:58:33,839 --> 00:58:34,400 speed 1656 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,319 the flight team can drop a little bit of 1657 00:58:36,319 --> 00:58:37,680 sand to get us to be 1658 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,000 positively buoyant again i like it how 1659 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:41,200 much how much 1660 00:58:41,200 --> 00:58:44,319 helium would you say is in all 52 1661 00:58:44,319 --> 00:58:45,839 balloons well we got that 18 wheeler 1662 00:58:45,839 --> 00:58:47,280 full of helium over there i don't know 1663 00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:48,559 we've been doing a real good job this 1664 00:58:48,559 --> 00:58:49,040 week of 1665 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:52,000 sending them home empty that's so that's 1666 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,920 hundreds thousands of gallons of helium 1667 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:55,680 yeah it's measured in cubic feet and 1668 00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,200 it's a whole lot nice 1669 00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:58,799 that's amazing i mean there's a lot of 1670 00:58:58,799 --> 00:59:00,160 curious questions from the from the 1671 00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,599 youtube audience i'm sure but 1672 00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:03,839 i think generally it's more just about 1673 00:59:03,839 --> 00:59:05,920 like will it all come together there's 1674 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:06,960 so much tech 1675 00:59:06,960 --> 00:59:09,200 so much you know preparation that's gone 1676 00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:10,799 into it so much teamwork 1677 00:59:10,799 --> 00:59:12,640 the weather i'm gonna just say i don't 1678 00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:13,920 wanna jinx it but it looks pretty 1679 00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:16,160 amazing right now i don't feel any wind 1680 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,799 and this is a majestic site so i'm happy 1681 00:59:18,799 --> 00:59:20,079 i think this looks good it's it's going 1682 00:59:20,079 --> 00:59:21,119 to be great as 1683 00:59:21,119 --> 00:59:22,319 i've been we've been saying on this 1684 00:59:22,319 --> 00:59:23,920 project it's not a question of if it 1685 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:25,040 will happen it's a question of what 1686 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:26,079 we're going to go through to make it 1687 00:59:26,079 --> 00:59:26,799 happen 1688 00:59:26,799 --> 00:59:29,200 and we because we did it together here 1689 00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:30,559 we are and we're ready to go 1690 00:59:30,559 --> 00:59:32,880 okay you want to walk up here and check 1691 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:34,480 out any absolutely we sure can 1692 00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:38,720 okay so these are the cameras right here 1693 00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:39,440 that are going to be 1694 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,559 facing david as he's in the air correct 1695 00:59:42,559 --> 00:59:43,920 yeah and they're pretty wide so we 1696 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:44,880 should be able to see 1697 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:47,119 pretty much his whole self while he's 1698 00:59:47,119 --> 00:59:48,319 hanging there so this will give us a 1699 00:59:48,319 --> 00:59:48,880 real 1700 00:59:48,880 --> 00:59:50,480 idea of what he's looking at around 1701 00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:52,000 there yeah his perspective 1702 00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:53,680 his like it's probably just going to be 1703 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:55,200 a lot of blue sky but some 1704 00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:56,319 yeah well hopefully some of this 1705 00:59:56,319 --> 00:59:57,920 beautiful background too below him at 1706 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:58,880 least in the beginning 1707 00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,160 okay uh and then over here we've got uh 1708 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,160 david's oxygen hanging here for later in 1709 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:05,760 the flight to avoid the hypoxia 1710 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,079 yeah uh and then this is how the lower 1711 01:00:08,079 --> 01:00:09,599 part of the cluster has come together 1712 01:00:09,599 --> 01:00:10,480 i don't think i've asked you what the 1713 01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,720 balloons are made of yet uh latex 1714 01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,440 okay is that biodegradable like when it 1715 01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:16,160 lands 1716 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,160 if you pop a balloon yeah just just like 1717 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:19,680 weather balloons they're designed to not 1718 01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,760 affect the environment 1719 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:24,640 awesome how many of them do you like see 1720 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:25,200 in other 1721 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,079 weather like apparatus normally weather 1722 01:00:28,079 --> 01:00:29,200 balloons are just one 1723 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,760 really long big balloon right because 1724 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:33,280 the aesthetic is not 1725 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,760 uh as important it's uh very uh uh 1726 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:36,799 utilitarian 1727 01:00:36,799 --> 01:00:38,400 buster's clusters like this aren't a 1728 01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,400 very popular ballooning mechanism i 1729 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:40,720 guess 1730 01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,240 for sure right well there's there's a 1731 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:43,440 lot of points of failure here right 1732 01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:44,960 every balloon is a single point of 1733 01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:45,599 failure 1734 01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:47,280 got it i love the do you have a favorite 1735 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,040 color balloon i have a favorite color oh 1736 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:49,920 what's your favorite color 1737 01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,839 i'm gonna say this blue one right here 1738 01:00:51,839 --> 01:00:53,760 it's a it's a good blue it's a good 1739 01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,760 rigger blue we like the blue ones uh 1740 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,280 there's a lot of red in here the yellow 1741 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:58,880 ones also that matches the payload we 1742 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,240 like those ones too 1743 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,079 yeah so the plane is about to take off 1744 01:01:02,079 --> 01:01:03,760 now that's the king air yeah that one 1745 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:05,119 goes up and it's an rf 1746 01:01:05,119 --> 01:01:06,799 platform meaning it sends these radio 1747 01:01:06,799 --> 01:01:09,520 signals it circles around david at about 1748 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:10,400 five miles 1749 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,400 and sends all these signals back down to 1750 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,319 us so that's what's about to fly off i 1751 01:01:14,319 --> 01:01:15,359 just want to see if it affects the 1752 01:01:15,359 --> 01:01:17,119 balloons as he takes off at all yeah 1753 01:01:17,119 --> 01:01:20,319 let's hop down for a sec 1754 01:01:20,319 --> 01:01:21,520 i think that's kind of wild that this 1755 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,920 entire project there's so much tech that 1756 01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:25,760 i've seen that i haven't even mentioned 1757 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:26,400 like 1758 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,079 he mentioned the plane that's going up 1759 01:01:28,079 --> 01:01:29,760 it's got all sorts of antennas in it 1760 01:01:29,760 --> 01:01:30,400 it's beaming 1761 01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,160 information down making sure connections 1762 01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,319 are secure making sure 1763 01:01:34,319 --> 01:01:36,720 this connection is secure and then art 1764 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,520 also mentioned 1765 01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,599 the military channels that are used to 1766 01:01:39,599 --> 01:01:40,960 communicate with the squibs 1767 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:42,960 that are encoded so nobody who gets the 1768 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:44,480 radio signals can ever 1769 01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,640 pop one just by getting in there's so 1770 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,079 much that goes into this so 1771 01:01:48,079 --> 01:01:50,480 i'm glad it's it's all about redundancy 1772 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,079 right it's about it's about making sure 1773 01:01:52,079 --> 01:01:54,240 no one thing can take us down and put 1774 01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:55,280 david in danger 1775 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,520 beautiful all right i'm gonna go back 1776 01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:58,400 over into the uh 1777 01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,599 the hanger and see what's going on have 1778 01:01:59,599 -->

01:04:25,200 pockets are zipped up 1825 01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:28,319 come back here yeah you keep going so 1826 01:04:28,319 --> 01:04:29,839 that the pockets are zipped up 1827 01:04:29,839 --> 01:04:31,440 yeah because we don't want handles going 1828 01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,520 in that's on us but when you're in free 1829 01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:34,640 fall 1830 01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:36,240 worst thing would be that the sweatshirt 1831 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,400 comes undone right yeah so then if you 1832 01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:39,599 have to use your handles 1833 01:04:39,599 --> 01:04:44,160 make sure you clear this one all right 1834 01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:47,359 so left leg is a radio that lets me 1835 01:04:47,359 --> 01:04:48,880 communicate to david when he's up in the 1836 01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,440 air the right leg is a battery pack 1837 01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,440 that powers this whole vest that not 1838 01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:54,480 only does 1839 01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:56,880 uh the image but also transmits the 1840 01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:57,680 image and 1841 01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,280 he wears this vest and actually gets 1842 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:00,880 warm on your back i wore it the other 1843 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:02,799 day and david said it got warm but 1844 01:05:02,799 --> 01:05:05,839 he was under playing it it was hot like 1845 01:05:05,839 --> 01:05:07,920 i mean it was super hot yeah anytime you 1846 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:08,960 have it it's too much 1847 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:10,720 we won't have that issue initiative 1848 01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,400 it'll be a warmer he doesn't need a heat 1849 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:13,839 vest today that's true 1850 01:05:13,839 --> 01:05:14,960 because you got all that tech on your 1851 01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:16,640 back also my favorite anecdote i just 1852 01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:17,440 want to bring it up because i don't 1853 01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:18,640 think anyone's mentioned it yet 1854 01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:21,359 he's got two main antennas one of them 1855 01:05:21,359 --> 01:05:22,319 is in his 1856 01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:24,720 booth yeah one of them is going to be on 1857 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:25,359 his 1858 01:05:25,359 --> 01:05:27,520 chest and they're going to switch based 1859 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,520 on an accelerometer so as he's 1860 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:32,079 riding the balloons up the closest 1861 01:05:32,079 --> 01:05:33,200 antenna can make 1862 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:34,799 communicating with the ground is in the 1863 01:05:34,799 --> 01:05:36,960 shoe and then as he 1864 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:38,720 skydives the closest antenna is going to 1865 01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:40,720 be in his chest and it'll switch 1866 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:41,760 really yeah i knew there were two 1867 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,039 antennas i thought they worked at the 1868 01:05:43,039 --> 01:05:44,400 same time they're going to just switch 1869 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:45,839 dynamically based on which one is closer 1870 01:05:45,839 --> 01:05:47,200 to the ground the better signal changes 1871 01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:48,400 as soon as he leaves what happens if 1872 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:50,000 he's tumbling 1873 01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:51,680 that's a great question for probably the 1874 01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,520 engineers maybe it'll keep switching but 1875 01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:54,000 it'll probably 1876 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:55,920 hope that doesn't happen i mean i tried 1877 01:05:55,920 --> 01:05:57,440 to lighten the mood a little bit but 1878 01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:58,400 it's getting real now 1879 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,480 yeah yeah whatever you guys are ready 1880 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:01,440 for 1881 01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:02,640 it takes you see how many people it 1882 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,240 takes it takes a village here right 1883 01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,440 that's the teamwork of it 1884 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,760 yeah um and then david has specific 1885 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,000 wants and images that he would like yeah 1886 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,680 but then we have stuff that's required 1887 01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:14,720 for safety right 1888 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:16,079 we're not going to let him go up he 1889 01:06:16,079 --> 01:06:18,400 asked me at one point do you think i can 1890 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:22,240 um hang from there to 25 000 feet 1891 01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:26,240 just holding on and i was like 1892 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,240 but that's like that's the david blaine 1893 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,480 part of it is as much as you can make it 1894 01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:31,520 that magical 1895 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,640 like surreal look the better right and i 1896 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,480 think it's already incredible that like 1897 01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:38,799 this is a 50-foot cluster of balloons 1898 01:06:38,799 --> 01:06:40,400 and what kid hasn't thought about like 1899 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:40,960 just 1900 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:42,480 latching onto them and floating away you 1901 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:44,480 know very first time i saw the balloons 1902 01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:45,359 i went to uh 1903 01:06:45,359 --> 01:06:47,440 tate's facility in pennsylvania we 1904 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:48,640 walked out there and they had the 1905 01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,480 balloons going and it was all inflate 1906 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:51,359 perfect morning 1907 01:06:51,359 --> 01:06:53,839 yeah and we hooked david up and his feet 1908 01:06:53,839 --> 01:06:55,599 got off the ground maybe two inches 1909 01:06:55,599 --> 01:06:58,000 and he giggled like a little kid yeah 1910 01:06:58,000 --> 01:06:58,960 and it was such a 1911 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,599 funny you remember that david so cool he 1912 01:07:01,599 --> 01:07:02,880 giggled and then he looked at me and 1913 01:07:02,880 --> 01:07:03,359 luke 1914 01:07:03,359 --> 01:07:05,520 you're going to be so jealous on this 1915 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,200 that was like that was when i had a 1916 01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,559 tether on wait 1917 01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:11,359 i know you let go yeah so that part 1918 01:07:11,359 --> 01:07:13,119 looks really fun and engaging and 1919 01:07:13,119 --> 01:07:13,839 exciting like 1920 01:07:13,839 --> 01:07:16,160 when you're low it's great but as he 1921 01:07:16,160 --> 01:07:17,440 starts to look through his feet 1922 01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,359 and we start to gain altitude i think 1923 01:07:19,359 --> 01:07:21,680 then it becomes a lot more real 1924 01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,680 yeah with all this stuff you know the 1925 01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:25,680 legs and the the whole harnessing system 1926 01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:26,400 and all that 1927 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,559 uh somebody here i heard them say to him 1928 01:07:28,559 --> 01:07:30,079 well you're used to being uncomfortable 1929 01:07:30,079 --> 01:07:31,200 all your stunts 1930 01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,440 and he said uh those are uncomfortable 1931 01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,119 by choice not equipment 1932 01:07:35,119 --> 01:07:37,599 so he definitely is trying to be as 1933 01:07:37,599 --> 01:07:39,280 comfortable as he can but 1934 01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:40,720 there's no way you can hang around for 1935 01:07:40,720 --> 01:07:42,799 an hour and be like standing here on the 1936 01:07:42,799 --> 01:07:43,200 ground 1937 01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,760 yeah so i'll just re-establish exactly 1938 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:46,799 where we're at right now i know how 1939 01:07:46,799 --> 01:07:48,319 youtube works people are just tuning in 1940 01:07:48,319 --> 01:07:49,520 at the climax right 1941 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,480 so david's going to go up and you've all 1942 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,240 maybe seen up or you've seen the huge 1943 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,960 cluster of balloons by now the plan 1944 01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,440 is to have him unhooked from the ground 1945 01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:01,359 connected to a ton of helium-filled 1946 01:08:01,359 --> 01:08:02,240 balloons 1947 01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:04,160 he's gonna go floating up into the sky 1948 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,319 over this beautiful desert landscape of 1949 01:08:06,319 --> 01:08:07,520 page arizona 1950 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,280 into the sunrise and he's gonna just 1951 01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,039 keep going up and up 1952 01:08:11,039 --> 01:08:12,799 and up until he's like a little dot in 1953 01:08:12,799 --> 01:08:14,799 the sky i don't know if you've ever seen 1954 01:08:14,799 --> 01:08:16,159 skydivers from the ground 1955 01:08:16,159 --> 01:08:19,120 it's just a dot there's a classic 1956 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:20,000 marquez moment 1957 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,520 just a lot of noise happening so 1958 01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,839 that's the last part he gets up he 1959 01:08:25,839 --> 01:08:26,640 brings 1960 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:30,000 a parachute down onto him puts it on 1961 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,400 jumps from the balloons skydives to the 1962 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:33,359 ground 1963 01:08:33,359 --> 01:08:36,239 lands and hopefully all goes well now 1964 01:08:36,239 --> 01:08:37,759 there's a whole bunch of safety and 1965 01:08:37,759 --> 01:08:39,600 and tech responsible for making this 1966 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:40,960 happen there's the weather team we 1967 01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:42,000 talked to 1968 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,839 winds are looking pretty good i think 1969 01:08:43,839 --> 01:08:46,159 we've got all the communication 1970 01:08:46,159 --> 01:08:48,000 from the payload inside the balloons 1971 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,920 that's going to be talking to his radios 1972 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,679 the camera signal so when he goes up 1973 01:08:51,679 --> 01:08:53,120 there we can still see him 1974 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:54,799 and his view i mean there's a ton of 1975 01:08:54,799 --> 01:08:56,880 tech happening he's wearing batteries 1976 01:08:56,880 --> 01:08:58,560 right now to power all this stuff and a 1977 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:00,400 vest covered in tech so 1978 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,279 i think the whole thing so far so good 1979 01:09:03,279 --> 01:09:03,520 and 1980 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,159 uh yeah that's where we're at right now 1981 01:09:06,159 --> 01:09:07,839 so when we're looking at that 1982 01:09:07,839 --> 01:09:09,279 we're looking at the lz's looking out 1983 01:09:09,279 --> 01:09:10,560 places to like this is where we talked 1984 01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,080 about for the landing it looks like your 1985 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,319 trajectory is going to be in this 1986 01:09:14,319 --> 01:09:16,640 green area here remember you have high 1987 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,239 tension power lines right i mean those 1988 01:09:18,239 --> 01:09:19,839 will kill you you cannot land in those 1989 01:09:19,839 -->

01:16:00,239 whole bunch of altimeters 2177 01:16:00,239 --> 01:16:03,679 right um we're up here at page arizona 2178 01:16:03,679 --> 01:16:06,080 yeah we're 4 hundred feet above the 2179 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,120 ocean 2180 01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:09,920 sea level okay aviation cares about sea 2181 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,280 level everything you hear talks about 2182 01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:12,880 sea level mountain heights all that 2183 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,199 yeah skydivers only care about ground 2184 01:16:15,199 --> 01:16:15,920 level right 2185 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,159 so we call that ago above ground level 2186 01:16:18,159 --> 01:16:20,239 okay so i only want him 2187 01:16:20,239 --> 01:16:22,640 to know his altitude above the ground 2188 01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:23,520 makes sense 2189 01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:25,679 he would like to have both yeah because 2190 01:16:25,679 --> 01:16:26,560 he wants to know 2191 01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,640 for hypoxia yeah so like there he's 2192 01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,159 worried about the hypoxia part but i'm 2193 01:16:30,159 --> 01:16:31,840 like let me help you with that 2194 01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,960 i'm worried that he 2195 01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,199 the terrain is all different so there's 2196 01:16:37,199 --> 01:16:39,280 no there's no ground it's not like what 2197 01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:40,800 i've been practicing where everything is 2198 01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:41,520 level 2199 01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,480 it doesn't exist so the ground level is 2200 01:16:44,480 --> 01:16:52,880 inaccurate no matter what 2201 01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,360 i have opinions every single one of us 2202 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:56,000 but 2203 01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:58,400 um i think that we're on the right page 2204 01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:11,840 so he has 2205 01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,400 i actually prefer if he ended up an 2206 01:17:14,400 --> 01:17:15,760 emergency situation 2207 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:17,360 to land on the top of one of those you 2208 01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:19,120 know there's no houses 2209 01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,199 fence power lines there's nothing up 2210 01:17:21,199 --> 01:17:22,800 there yeah we'll figure out how to get 2211 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:23,840 them down later 2212 01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:25,840 right i would choose one of those if i 2213 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:27,120 ended up in a bad spot 2214 01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:28,640 gotcha and we also didn't even mention 2215 01:17:28,640 -->

change while david is up in the 2419 01:26:14,960 --> 01:26:16,639 air that we're looking for 2420 01:26:16,639 --> 01:26:18,639 so basically don's in charge of weather 2421 01:26:18,639 --> 01:26:20,000 and he's always going to have an eye on 2422 01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:21,360 what winds are doing at different 2423 01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,280 heights so as he ascends into different 2424 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:24,239 wind bands 2425 01:26:24,239 --> 01:26:25,760 that's the thing that can change wind 2426 01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:27,440 can pick up and we can't see it until he 2427 01:26:27,440 --> 01:26:29,040 gets to it looking good man 2428 01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:31,360 uh yeah so this happens radio on and 2429 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,280 then uh how will he detach from the 2430 01:26:33,280 --> 01:26:33,679 balloons 2431 01:26:33,679 --> 01:26:35,120 loud enough so he's got a series of 2432 01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:36,960 hooks but he's he's hanging on and he's 2433 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:38,320 attached to the balloons 2434 01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:39,920 when he gets the parachute down and 2435 01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,000 attaches that then he's got a special 2436 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,199 sequence of instructions 2437 01:26:43,199 --> 01:26:45,600 to unhook and just basically let go of 2438 01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:46,320 the balloons 2439 01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,719 which is kind of wild but that's what 2440 01:26:48,719 --> 01:26:50,719 i've seen 2441 01:26:50,719 --> 01:26:53,440 uh what are the main challenges of 2442 01:26:53,440 --> 01:26:55,360 parachuting 2443 01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,280 i've never parachuted but i'm gonna 2444 01:26:57,280 --> 01:26:58,960 guess it's landing 2445 01:26:58,960 --> 01:27:00,639 i'm gonna guess it's coming down picking 2446 01:27:00,639 --> 01:27:03,040 your spot and we have luke who's done 2447 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:04,800 i think he said 20 000 jumps which is 2448 01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:06,560 amazing so he comes down super fast 2449 01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:07,280 picks a spot 2450 01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:10,480 and just hits it but from what i hear as 2451 01:27:10,480 --> 01:27:12,000 you're coming down you sort of lock your 2452 01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:13,760 eyes on a spot on the horizon and you 2453 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:15,360 have a couple rules of thumb 2454 01:27:15,360 --> 01:27:17,679 to try to hit that spot you don't want 2455 01:27:17,679 --> 01:27:19,920 to come down too steep or too shallow 2456 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:21,440 just as you land we've seen a lot of 2457 01:27:21,440 --> 01:27:23,199 good landings on youtube and you can 2458 01:27:23,199 --> 01:27:25,679 watch those but generally i think it's 2459 01:27:25,679 --> 01:27:27,440 the landing 2460 01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:29,840 uh what will happen if some balloons pop 2461 01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:31,199 someone wants to know 2462 01:27:31,199 --> 01:27:33,199 so there is always that risk and i think 2463 01:27:33,199 --> 01:27:34,800 the number one thing we have 2464 01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,280 is the control center which can 2465 01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:39,520 counteract that by dropping weight 2466 01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:41,280 so they can already decide to pop a 2467 01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:43,600 balloon if they want him to rise slower 2468 01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,719 or descend if a balloon pops by accident 2469 01:27:46,719 --> 01:27:48,560 and they starts to go down they can drop 2470 01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:49,920 some of that weight which they call 2471 01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:51,440 ballast and he'll start to 2472 01:27:51,440 --> 01:27:53,679 even out and go back up that's my 2473 01:27:53,679 --> 01:27:55,120 understanding i don't think they'll pop 2474 01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:57,760 by accident at least i hope not 2475 01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,960 uh maybe one more how close is the 2476 01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,199 chopper to david 2477 01:28:03,199 --> 01:28:05,280 great question it looks it looks really 2478 01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:06,960 close and we've done 2479 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:08,639 like test runs flying the helicopter 2480 01:28:08,639 --> 01:28:10,320 around and they've got that sweet camera 2481 01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:11,600 on the front by the way 2482 01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,360 the red camera in there it's got a sweet 2483 01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:15,520 long lens and they get pretty close and 2484 01:28:15,520 --> 01:28:16,080 you'll see 2485 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:17,600 when he gets up there how close the 2486 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,080 helicopter gets 2487 01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:21,920 getting the last couple layers on he's 2488 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:23,360 got this camera 2489 01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:26,000 that can either twist around to face him 2490 01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:26,719 or face 2491 01:28:26,719 --> 01:28:29,040 his view like the ground and there's 2492 01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:30,560 also going to be cameras up in the 2493 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,560 balloons that face him from super far 2494 01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:33,520 away so 2495 01:28:33,520 --> 01:28:35,440 i'm a pretty good view as he's actually 2496 01:28:35,440 --> 01:28:37,440 rising up attached to those balloons 2497 01:28:37,440 --> 01:28:39,679 of what he's seeing and how high he gets 2498 01:28:39,679 --> 01:28:44,320 and how close that helicopter is 2499 01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:48,000 okay do you have a picture time 2500 01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:49,920 hey noodles do you have a picture
