Why is Cinderella so bad at soccer?
BECAUSE SHE IS ALWAYS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE BALL
Balloon ascentIn 1927, the first U.S. balloon flight ascent to exceed an altitude of 40,000-ft was made by Captain Hawthorne C. Gray of the U.S. Army Air Service, over Scott Field, Illinois. The nearly 2-hour free flight reached an altitude of 42,470-ft. The balloon had 80,000-cu.ft. capacity and used sand ballast. Because of trouble resulting in a descent that was too rapid, Gray parachuted out at 8,900-ft. Because Gray was not in command of the landing, the ascent did not make an official record. |
