5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,639
age

6
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:16,480
yeah like the boy in the movie that's

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,039
close to the yeah

8
00:00:19,039 --> 00:00:21,279
and what i want to do is i want to grab

9
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:23,039
that rig of balloons

10
00:00:23,039 --> 00:00:25,279
and i want to go floating all the way up

11
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:26,960
into the sky

12
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,359
until i become a little dot in the sky

13
00:00:29,359 --> 00:00:30,640
that you're going to see

14
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,160
i will see yeah you're going to be able

15
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:33,840
to watch me go all the way up

16
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,760
to the black dot and where am i going to

17
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,200
head towards

18
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,360
venus yeah but not that far of course

19
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,559
i hope so and this was all because of

20
00:00:44,559 --> 00:00:45,680
you

21
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,399
i haven't done anything since you were

22
00:00:48,399 --> 00:00:49,360
one years old

23
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,320
and i stopped fake things no just fake

24
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,360
like scary things

25
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,199
yeah and because of you i wanted to do

26
00:00:55,199 --> 00:00:57,039
something

27
00:00:57,039 --> 00:00:58,879
yeah but because of you i wanted to do

28
00:00:58,879 --> 00:01:00,320
something beautiful but that's not

29
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,120
dangerous

30
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,039
no but this is the first one that i'm

31
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:04,960
doing that's beautiful and that's all

32
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:07,280
because of you

33
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:15,119
it's true thank you

34
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:19,190
ever since i was a kid i've dreamed of

35
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,520
flying i was five years old my mom took

36
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 together to

103
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,120
help me do this

104
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,519
so i don't die this is different than

105
00:04:07,519 --> 00:04:09,360
anything that i've ever done

106
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,040
and i want to introduce you to some of

107
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,480
my teams some of the best

108
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,079
experts in the world so come with me

109
00:04:16,079 --> 00:04:20,160
luke hey so this is this is luke akins

110
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,560
who's taught me how to jump at a plane

111
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,680
safely how to land in any area safely

112
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,840
and actually put the entire stunt

113
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,560
together and he's the best in the world

114
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,400
the reason i found luke was because he

115
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:33,759
was that guy that jumped

116
00:04:33,759 --> 00:04:37,120
25 000 feet out of an airplane without a

117
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:37,840
parachute

118
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,919
and landed into a tiny net that from up

119
00:04:39,919 --> 00:04:41,520
there you can't even see it looks like a

120
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:42,000
tiny

121
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,680
dot so this is luke you excited man

122
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,680
yeah i mean i can't believe it's finally

123
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,520
gonna happen all this work i started

124
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,880
getting goosebumps the more we talk

125
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:51,919

00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,080
it's been it's been a doozy but we're

and the the best youtuber who

133
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,800
knows everything about tech that does

134
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,840
every single great video that explains

135
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:19,520
science and technology

136
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,919
marquez brownlee has decided to come

137
00:05:21,919 --> 00:05:22,960

guys he's going to explain

140
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,560
every question that you may have and

141
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:29,600
thank you marquez

142
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,120
that's the plan there's a lot of tech

143
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,560
behind this and i feel like people won't

144
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,080
appreciate that until they see it

145
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:35,120
but i want to ask you something real

146
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,960
quick just because we're here now you've

147
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:38,320
been this is a child

148
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,000
childhood dream years and years of

149
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,160
training but we're here on the day now

150
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,360
how does that feel i won't believe

151
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,160
anything until my feet start lifting up

152
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,600
off the ground and keep

153
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,000
going it's amazing so how does this

154
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:52,800
differ from

155
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,880
your other your other projects this is

156
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,560
it's super different but what makes it

157
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,600
so different

158
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,520
this is the first project that i've ever

159
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,520
done and it's all thanks to youtube

160
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,639
yeah that i'm actually able

161
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:07,840
to put together the dream team that

162
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,080
yeah that's all around me and i i

163
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,240
couldn't ask for anything better so

164
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,160
even though the idea seems so simple

165
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,759
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 this moment that's true and i've

172
00:06:27,039 --> 00:06:29,039
witnessed it luke you've also been in

173
00:06:29,039 --> 00:06:29,680
charge of

174
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,520
essentially a ton of the project and you

175
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,360
know what like the biggest

176
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,960
risk factors are what would you say are

177
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,199
the things to pay most attention to

178
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:40,000
i mean i got a list a mile long but

179
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,199
really in my head i got

180
00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:43,440
four basics you know temperature it's

181
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,319
gonna be cold

182
00:06:44,319 --> 00:06:46,240
i mean he's gonna be freezing 25 000

183
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,599
feet or tire um you got hypoxia lack of

184
00:06:49,599 --> 00:06:51,199
oxygen he could be

185
00:06:51,199 --> 00:06:53,199
arguing with me or you know you get

186
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,039
silly it's almost like you're impaired

187
00:06:55,039 --> 00:06:57,680
okay okay i get extraordinarily drunk is

188
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:58,960
what happens

189
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,599
wow okay and then for me one of the

190
00:07:01,599 --> 00:07:02,000
biggest

191
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,560
ones is i was talking to david he's like

192
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,080
i really have this beautiful look i

193
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,520
i don't want to wear a parachute i'm

194
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,120
like dude you got to wear a parachute

195
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,199
he's like is there anything we could do

196
00:07:11,199 --> 00:07:12,960
yeah i'm like i don't think so

197
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,319
and then you accidentally said maybe we

198
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:17,919
could hide it in the balloons

199
00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:20,000
i go yeah and he jumped on it he's like

200
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,599
let's do that that's what i'm doing

201
00:07:21,599 --> 00:07:24,000
and i was like well wait a minute it

202
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,199
gets really cold

203
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,440
you got a lot of stuff going on and i

204
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,880
don't want to add another thing and i

205
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,000
started thinking about it

206
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,280
and we started to figure out how to do

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 --> 00:24:56,000
brother okay

739
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,640
cool my brother's obsessed with marquez

740
00:24:58,640 --> 00:24:59,679
so

741
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:01,840
he was so excited when he saw marquez

742
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,799
was he was ah is that

743
00:25:04,799 --> 00:25:07,279
um but here this is this is one of my

744
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:09,039
favorites so any card that you want you

745
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:09,760
can have

746
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,039
take one out okay

747
00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:14,880
got it good and can you write your name

748
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,159
so everybody can see it

749
00:25:16,159 --> 00:25:18,159
yeah i don't know anywhere yeah well big

750
00:25:18,159 --> 00:25:20,400
and bold so it's visible so you can see

751
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,000
your name so it might be on the border

752
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,760
yeah good can you see that

753
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,880
great good card can you all see that now

754
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,279
look

755
00:25:29,279 --> 00:25:31,760
do you see how the card really it looks

756
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:32,480
like i put

757
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,840
your card for real inside yes

758
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,799
yeah no i do this one move seeing it's

759
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:40,080
right on top

760
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,240
just like that can 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 --> 00:41:48,800
okay cool

1194
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,640
all right so thanks we're going to hurry

1195
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:52,560
things along i i can tell the wind is

1196
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,000
perfectly still so that's great

1197
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,800
um we're good on that so i mean it's now

1198
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:57,599
time like i mean

1199
00:41:57,599 --> 00:41:59,200
i love the cameras i love you guys all

1200
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:00,720
watching it's time to get to work man

1201
00:42:00,720 --> 00:42:01,520
you gotta

1202
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,520
get going you're gonna suit up yeah

1203
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:04,560
exactly so take a minute

1204
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:05,839
go get ready and then we'll meet you

1205
00:42:05,839 --> 00:42:07,520
over here five minutes and then we'll

1206
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:08,640
start gearing up okay

1207
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,800
all right thank you yeah sorry man i

1208
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,160
know you got a show but we gotta get

1209
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,599
going that's the importance of it and

1210
00:42:13,599 --> 00:42:16,000
that's why the training 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
00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,640
cold

1238
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,240
hopefully you're not claustrophobic i'll

1239
00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:03,760
go try to stay in there

1240
00:43:03,760 --> 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 --> 00:43:45,359
immediately that's crazy

1259
00:43:45,359 --> 00:43:46,560
me and jake are gonna take our

1260
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:49,200
temperature because once we go in the

1261
00:43:49,200 --> 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 had one professional boxer

1265
00:44:03,839 --> 00:44:04,800
yesterday

1266
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,920
tap out so he got knocked down in one

1267
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:08,720
round

1268
00:44:08,720 --> 00:44:20,839
wow wow this is crazy right now one

1269
00:44:20,839 --> 00:44:24,160
two

1270
00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:27,520
you doing okay yup okay

1271
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:37,200
you're halfway there

1272
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:39,839
he's got 45 seconds left he's doing

1273
00:44:39,839 --> 00:44:42,000
great

1274
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,839
he's starting to shake

1275
00:44:45,839 --> 00:44:49,599
all right good job oh

1276
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:54,319
wow that's amazing

1277
00:44:54,319 --> 00:44:56,560
you said that was one level what's the

1278
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,160
next level of that

1279
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:02,000
more intense just crank it to the

1280
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:03,040
highest from it

1281
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:06,079
in the 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 landed so far from everything like i'm

1428
00:51:01,359 --> 00:51:03,280
in the middle if i landed around a bunch

1429
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:04,160
of trees

1430
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,680
where you're supposed to land is where

1431
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:09,040
that little white dot is right there

1432
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:10,800
there's been a couple of really bad

1433
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,559
landings that i have

1434
00:51:12,559 --> 00:51:16,480
yeah oh no oh and he ate it

1435
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:18,960
hey whoa whoa whoa shut her down all the

1436
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:19,599
way

1437
00:51:19,599 --> 00:51:23,119
whoa whoa whoa stop stop another time i

1438
00:51:23,119 --> 00:51:24,880
crashed into a fence

1439
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,760
and my body flipped over these are my

1440
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:30,000
little wounds

1441
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,839
that's got my initials on it right there

1442
00:51:33,839 --> 00:51:36,319
that was okay but it could have been bad

1443
00:51:36,319 --> 00:51:37,440
like another

1444
00:51:37,440 --> 00:51:39,760
this much and it would have been shows

1445
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,760
done

1446
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,119
you know obviously the danger in

1447
00:51:43,119 --> 00:51:44,960
skydiving is the earth right it's coming

1448
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:45,680
up at us

1449
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,400
at a high rate of speed if you don't do

1450
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:49,920
something you know it's going to kill

1451
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,520
you for sure you know i've lost friends

1452
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:52,480
and it's tough

1453
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:54,319
in the last 40 years i've lost over 100

1454
00:51:54,319 --> 00:51:56,240
friends skydiving i wish i had 100

1455
00:51:56,240 --> 00:51:56,720
friends

1456
00:51:56,720 --> 00:52:00,160
right

1457
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,079
skydivers sense of humor is like that

1458
00:52:02,079 --> 00:52:03,359
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

1527
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:05,839
doing really good all the balloons are

1528
00:55:05,839 --> 00:55:06,799
attached now

1529
00:55:06,799 --> 00:55:08,319
the cameras are installed they're

1530
00:55:08,319 --> 00:55:09,839
focused they're uh

1531
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:11,920
they've been tested we've weighed off

1532
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,200
the cluster we've made sure we have the

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 --> 00:55:20,160
and basically all you have to do is get

1537
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,000
david i mean he's putting his his

1538
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:23,599
harness and everything on now

1539
00:55:23,599 --> 00:55:25,599
and once he's attached to it he's ready

1540
00:55:25,599 --> 00:55:26,799
to lift off basically

1541
00:55:26,799 --> 00:55:27,839
that's it we're going to do a little bit

1542
00:55:27,839 --> 00:55:29,680
of final adjustment with bert make sure

1543
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:31,200
that we're going to go out at the speed

1544
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,640
we want to initially

1545
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,480
uh and then that that's it then the

1546
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:36,079
helium wins nice

1547
00:55:36,079 --> 00:55:38,240
i got i got a bunch of uh youtube

1548
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:40,000
questions there's some chat going and we

1549
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,680
got some curious questions from people

1550
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,240
about

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 --> 01:02:19,359
fun thank you thank you

1779
01:02:19,359 --> 01:02:32,839
david right now

1780
01:02:32,839 --> 01:02:34,960
good

1781
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:36,799
we got to do his patch antennas before

1782
01:02:36,799 --> 01:02:38,000
that goes

1783
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:59,050
on his belly we got to do all that first

1784
01:03:00,839 --> 01:03:04,640
david

1785
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:06,559
how much time do we have here where are

1786
01:03:06,559 --> 01:03:09,440
we how much time do we have to launch

1787
01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:13,039
right a little bit is that too tight

1788
01:03:13,039 --> 01:03:14,880
for the antenna um i mean you got like

1789
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:16,319
10 minutes or so

1790
01:03:16,319 --> 01:03:18,880
how much takes about 20 months uh to

1791
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:20,079
launch we have

1792
01:03:20,079 --> 01:03:22,799
30 minutes 35 out okay sorry we have 40

1793
01:03:22,799 --> 01:03:24,480
minutes i was robbing you

1794
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,039
okay looks good wind's perfect don's

1795
01:03:27,039 --> 01:03:28,319
just launching a

1796
01:03:28,319 --> 01:03:30,000
high ball out there just to watch it go

1797
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,359
up a little big balloon

1798
01:03:31,359 --> 01:03:33,440
um see where the track goes landing area

1799
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,280
looks the same everything looks good on

1800
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:35,760
all that

1801
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,839
okay um right now they're putting on

1802
01:03:37,839 --> 01:03:40,240
batteries

1803
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,720
leg radio are you guys looking for the

1804
01:03:42,720 --> 01:03:45,039
vhf radio no we're looking for the

1805
01:03:45,039 --> 01:03:48,640
this one no no we got that okay um

1806
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:49,760
yeah everything's looking really good

1807
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:51,440
out there okay this is the crazy part

1808
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:51,760
right

1809
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:53,039
we always knew this was gonna be the

1810
01:03:53,039 --> 01:03:55,039
busy with yeah everybody watching and

1811
01:03:55,039 --> 01:03:55,760
checking it out

1812
01:03:55,760 --> 01:04:05,839
and the camera's gonna hang

1813
01:04:05,839 --> 01:04:07,440
perfect so then shoot we won't be able

1814
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,200
to attack the vest low

1815
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:10,880
because he's got the camera folded down

1816
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:12,799
low yeah

1817
01:04:12,799 --> 01:04:14,960
yeah so you know i can get the upper two

1818
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:16,960
pick so yep get the upper two picks and

1819
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:17,839
leave the bottom

1820
01:04:17,839 --> 01:04:20,400
there so uh when you're jumping you got

1821
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:21,119
that cool

1822
01:04:21,119 --> 01:04:22,799
sweatshirt on and stuff you want to make

1823
01:04:22,799 --> 01:04:24,160
sure our one of our checks is that our

1824
01:04:24,160 --> 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 --> 01:09:20,880
oh wait so hold

1990
01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:23,600
on what am i looking for so what you're

1991
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:25,359
looking at right here

1992
01:09:25,359 --> 01:09:27,359
is this is the airport where i'm trying

1993
01:09:27,359 --> 01:09:28,880
to land this is the airport

1994
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,440
right the green is your flight path yeah

1995
01:09:31,440 --> 01:09:32,080
it's okay

1996
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:34,000
gonna carry you along where it turns to

1997
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,839
white yeah that's where we should reach

1998
01:09:35,839 --> 01:09:36,480
25

1999
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:38,000
000 feet i mean this is best guess

2000
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,839
dawn's amazing but yeah yeah there's so

2001
01:09:39,839 --> 01:09:40,799
many variables

2002
01:09:40,799 --> 01:09:42,960
so where's the where's the so the lz's

2003
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,880
right here it's straight back towards

2004
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:46,400
the airport for a reference

2005
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,480
but what am i looking for from when i'm

2006
01:09:48,480 --> 01:09:50,159
up there so when you're up there the

2007
01:09:50,159 --> 01:09:51,040
city ten thousand

2008
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:52,799
you'll see the city out there okay when

2009
01:09:52,799 --> 01:09:54,719
you're looking down hold on but wait

2010
01:09:54,719 --> 01:09:56,400
go back out see if the city is here the

2011
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,400
city is here okay so the city's here

2012
01:09:58,400 --> 01:10:00,400
where's the is that that where this is

2013
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:01,440
the three towers

2014
01:10:01,440 --> 01:10:02,640
right here yep those are the three

2015
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:04,880
towers okay so hold on so if i see

2016
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,600
this that's where we are basically

2017
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:08,560
that's right so we're taking off

2018
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:10,719

01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:26,640
road that runs underneath it's a paved

2028
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:28,080
road very often

2029
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,239
a little esther these water ponds here

2030
01:10:30,239 --> 01:10:32,239
their irrigation ponds yeah they stand

2031
01:10:32,239 --> 01:10:32,480
out

2032
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:34,239
terrific and there's no power lines no

2033
01:10:34,239 --> 01:10:35,840
anything but that this is what you're

2034
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:37,440
looking for for a reference okay

2035
01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:40,000
okay that's easy to find easy to see

2036
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:40,960
then you're gonna go

2037
01:10:40,960 --> 01:10:43,920
towards the airport right still on your

2038
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:46,000
path towards the airport okay but wait

2039
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,920
i'm going towards the airport or in this

2040
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:49,280
direction in this direction or

2041
01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:52,000
towards the airport it's the same thing

2042
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:52,480
but

2043
01:10:52,480 --> 01:10:54,239
this is north you're headed northbound

2044
01:10:54,239 --> 01:10:56,159
okay directly towards the airport

2045
01:10:56,159 --> 01:10:57,760
towards the airport yep okay and then

2046
01:10:57,760 --> 01:10:58,800
you're going to look out here there's

2047
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:00,480
this big flat mesa

2048
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:02,080
this stands out really good these water

2049
01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:04,400
ponds yeah stand out great so so you're

2050
01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:04,800
heading

2051
01:11:04,800 --> 01:11:06,960
towards the waterfall right towards the

2052
01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:08,480
water ponds and the airport

2053
01:11:08,480 --> 01:11:10,480
water ponds airport okay landing zone

2054
01:11:10,480 --> 01:11:12,880
but where is the landing zone right here

2055
01:11:12,880 --> 01:11:16,000
where right there right there so

2056
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,719
this is that room but is it here or is

2057
01:11:18,719 --> 01:11:19,920
it no it's this green

2058
01:11:19,920 --> 01:11:21,440
everything that's green here is

2059
01:11:21,440 --> 01:11:23,520
beautiful but that's what we've looked

2060
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:24,320
at on the map

2061
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:25,920
so can i see it without the green or

2062
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:28,159
sure possible i can see with anything

2063
01:11:28,159 --> 01:11:32,080
here

2064
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,080
so here is roughly a spot that i've

2065
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:35,120
looked at

2066
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,120
that's crazy i've looked it here okay

2067
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:38,239
it's very obvious

2068
01:11:38,239 --> 01:11:42,080
this edge the sip of water by the way

2069
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,120
yeah exactly yeah this is where it gets

2070
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:45,840
real huh

2071
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:47,600
yeah it gets real for sure so remember

2072
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:49,360
this changes every day we've looked at

2073
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,120
all these areas but today it looks

2074
01:11:51,120 --> 01:11:53,520
perfect it couldn't be better you're

2075
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:57,360
only obstacle on that whole flat

2076
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:00,159
you jump off the balloons you head

2077
01:12:00,159 --> 01:12:01,120
towards the airport

2078
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:02,560
once you have the airport like you're

2079
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:03,920
headed that direction you're looking for

2080
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:05,360
those two little water ponds

2081
01:12:05,360 --> 01:12:07,840
right you see those little water ponds

2082
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,280
and then it's right it's really close

2083
01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,400
yeah it's in front of them

2084
01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,080
exactly it's in front of them okay and

2085
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:13,760
the the landing zone this is the one

2086
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,440
that we picked i'm also the worst

2087
01:12:15,440 --> 01:12:17,120
person with directions i know that's why

2088
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,440
i'm trying to give you a better uh

2089
01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:22,400
reference so it's really this should be

2090
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,000
very very easy to see

2091
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,320
okay this is what i'm hoping um and it

2092
01:12:26,320 --> 01:12:27,840
looks right now that that's your best

2093
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:28,960
landing spot

2094
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,960
um behind but besides that you're going

2095
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,480
to pick any of the little ravines the

2096
01:12:32,480 --> 01:12:34,080
sand ravines we've looked at out there

2097
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:35,520
okay if you ended up in an emergency

2098
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,679
situation um you're just gonna pick a

2099
01:12:37,679 --> 01:12:38,239
nice

2100
01:12:38,239 --> 01:12:40,800
sandy ravine and try to not land on like

2101
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:42,000
a paved road or anything like that

2102
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:43,040
because that's where the power lines are

2103
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:43,840
gonna be right

2104
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,600
yep our eyes are open i should be able

2105
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,440
to talk to you but no comms could happen

2106
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:49,520
yeah i mean then it gets sketched so

2107
01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:50,480

i will okay

2150
01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,880
what color red or what color you're

2151
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:05,199
going to

2152
01:15:05,199 --> 01:15:19,120
see some white okay okay great

2153
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:21,520
i expected that um david starts

2154
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,840
questioning landing where we're looking

2155
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:25,679
embodied directions you know

2156
01:15:25,679 --> 01:15:28,080
it's common there's a lot going on here

2157
01:15:28,080 --> 01:15:29,440
and then the whole world's watching him

2158
01:15:29,440 --> 01:15:31,440
at the same time so you have that

2159
01:15:31,440 --> 01:15:33,199
he i noticed that last time that he was

2160
01:15:33,199 --> 01:15:34,640
able to ignore the cameras and we got

2161
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:35,679
into the meat of what

2162
01:15:35,679 --> 01:15:37,840
he needs to do to be okay yeah so we're

2163
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:39,120
talking about the landing areas we're

2164
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:40,400
going to talk about them again

2165
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,480
they're gearing them up safety checking

2166
01:15:42,480 --> 01:15:43,679
i got stan over there

2167
01:15:43,679 --> 01:15:45,760
scott smith everybody's keeping an eye

2168
01:15:45,760 --> 01:15:46,880
everyone has their jobs

2169
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:48,640
yeah um my job is just to make sure that

2170
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:50,400
the whole team is doing what they need

2171
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,080
to do and then or whatever double check

2172
01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,640
it but um it's getting real right now

2173
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:56,080
yeah and you're talking about altimeters

2174
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:57,120
too just making sure they're all

2175
01:15:57,120 --> 01:15:58,960
zeroed out right now he wants to wear a

2176
01:15:58,960 --> 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 --> 01:17:30,400
the helicopter which is

2216
01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:31,840
in addition to the plane that's going

2217
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:33,760
around at a high altitude

2218
01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:35,360
we have a camera on a helicopter that's

2219
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:36,880
that sort of a middle altitude that's

2220
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:38,239
going to be tracking him but also has a

2221
01:17:38,239 --> 01:17:39,600
lot of communication

2222
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,000
as he's on the way up yeah he passes the

2223
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,000
helicopter's max altitude

2224
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,520
and then starts talking with the plane

2225
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:47,520
and then comes back down correct

2226
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:48,960
and the helicopter is going to get

2227
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,440
amazing shots it serves two purposes

2228
01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:53,520
captures these beautiful images but also

2229
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:56,159
has safety and eyes on him all the time

2230
01:17:56,159 --> 01:17:58,000
so if we lost comms we have community to

2231
01:17:58,000 --> 01:17:59,520
communicate um

2232
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:00,960
and the helicopter pilot aaron

2233
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:03,440
fitzgerald long time friend of mine

2234
01:18:03,440 --> 01:18:05,199
he's one of the few guys i trust to get

2235
01:18:05,199 --> 01:18:06,480
in there tight

2236
01:18:06,480 --> 01:18:08,080
and not affect the balloons but get

2237
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:09,840
great shots but

2238
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,360
it's almost uncomfortable how close it

2239
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:12,719
gets you can see the white of his eyes

2240
01:18:12,719 --> 01:18:13,120
in there

2241
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,199
that's crazy it's another another top

2242
01:18:15,199 --> 01:18:16,320
piece of that team is getting the

2243
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:17,760
helicopter in the right spot

2244
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:20,080
there's so many moving parts yeah and i

2245
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,239
expect between us i expect it to get

2246
01:18:22,239 --> 01:18:23,679
even a little more intense as we get

2247
01:18:23,679 --> 01:18:53,600
closer to go outside

2248
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,600
tighten it back up yeah i can make it

2249
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,840
tighter yeah that's yeah

2250
01:18:57,840 --> 01:19:02,880
i got a pick for you right here though

2251
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:05,040
here i can put you in here yeah you put

2252
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:06,640
that same one right

2253
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:14,080
yeah this one

2254
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,840
what this has to go over the ear though

2255
01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:17,920
doesn't it yes it does yeah

2256
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:21,440
so not to add more pressure but uh

2257
01:19:21,440 --> 01:19:23,760
dawn says we definitely keep moving yeah

2258
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,440
and we are all right what's our time i

2259
01:19:25,440 --> 01:19:26,640

arm up one more time david you gonna

2303
01:21:06,080 --> 01:21:09,920

2304
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,560
yeah he's he's got it right now you got

2305
01:21:12,560 --> 01:21:26,480
that

2306
01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:29,520
yeah as loud as possible

2307
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:33,360
left arm right on

2308
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:37,199
yeah it's funny

2309
01:21:37,199 --> 01:21:42,000
and as you go over the top

2310
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:43,600
david we're still going we're still

2311
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:44,719
going with the weather we just let it

2312
01:21:44,719 --> 01:21:45,840
high bulb up

2313
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,719
it was really calm for the first 2000

2314
01:21:48,719 --> 01:21:49,199
feet

2315
01:21:49,199 --> 01:21:51,120
so we're still good on time we're good

2316
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:52,320
we're good you're sure

2317
01:21:52,320 --> 01:21:53,440
we're sure we don't want to go any

2318
01:21:53,440 --> 01:22:00,190
longer than we need to but right now

2319
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:05,280
you want to have them go up because

2320
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:06,800
right now we're looking pretty good on

2321
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:08,000
time yeah right now we're looking pretty

2322
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:09,120
good on time the weather weather's

2323
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,520
holding we have a really stable

2324
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:13,280
thick column of calm winds in fact i

2325
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:15,040
just let a pie ball balloon go

2326
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:16,719
yeah and for the first thousand feet the

2327
01:22:16,719 --> 01:22:17,920
balloon barely moved it just went

2328
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:19,280
straight up which is exactly what we

2329
01:22:19,280 --> 01:22:19,920
want to see

2330
01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:21,360
just like a little test balloon just a

2331
01:22:21,360 --> 01:22:23,600
little test balloon but as the

2332
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:25,840
ground warms up we're at an airport

2333
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,199
location with all this asphalt and

2334
01:22:27,199 --> 01:22:27,840
concrete

2335
01:22:27,840 --> 01:22:29,280
right that's going to start to warm up

2336
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:30,320
the air and the air is going to want to

2337
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:31,280
start to move

2338
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:32,560
so the later we go in the morning the

2339
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,239
more the winds could pick up but right

2340
01:22:34,239 --> 01:22:34,639
now

2341
01:22:34,639 --> 01:22:36,880
we're right on where we exactly where we

2342
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:38,480
want to be in terms of timing and i

2343
01:22:38,480 --> 01:22:39,679
think the winds will hold

2344
01:22:39,679 --> 01:22:41,600
okay what happens if we do need extra

2345
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:42,960
time and we're after

2346
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:45,360
the window we want okay so what we we're

2347
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:46,719
in that situation where we hope mother

2348
01:22:46,719 --> 01:22:48,000
nature cooperates

2349
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:49,840
and these nice calm winds stay

2350
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,360
manageable again i'll bring back that

2351
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:52,800
five miles per hour wind

2352
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,560
right so as long as we stand under that

2353
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:56,080
five miles per hour everything is

2354
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:58,000
manageable we can have david have a safe

2355
01:22:58,000 --> 01:22:58,560
launch

2356
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:00,800
safe ascent safe landing we start

2357
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,400
getting about five or six miles an hour

2358
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:03,840
that's when we're going to be concerned

2359
01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:11,360
right okay got it

2360
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:12,880
when you guys walk david out we're going

2361
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,280
to walk him as far east on the asphalt

2362
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,840
as we can go yeah just do it one time

2363
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,639
towards the plateau the one thing that

2364
01:23:20,639 --> 01:23:21,920
may happen

2365
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:24,320
is get a feel of what this feels like

2366
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:25,520
because if you grab this one then you're

2367
01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:30,560
going to pull and pull and pull yeah

2368
01:23:30,560 --> 01:23:33,280
that's perfect yep you know what i mean

2369
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:34,159
should i sit again

2370
01:23:34,159 --> 01:23:35,760

uh you're going to get that on the deck

2381
01:24:28,480 --> 01:24:30,320
from the client

2382
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:31,760
he's going to put that in here a little

2383
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:34,719
bit

2384
01:24:34,719 --> 01:24:37,040
i hear you because you're here we've

2385
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:38,560
been playing with these things what's

2386
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:42,400
but what's going on

2387
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:45,040
hold on i hear it's low yes again hold

2388
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:45,840
on

2389
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:49,040
wait oh okay i'm in talk again

2390
01:24:49,040 --> 01:24:54,000
i heard you say it's low

2391
01:24:54,000 --> 01:24:55,840
i got you in my left ear now but i have

2392
01:24:55,840 --> 01:25:06,480
two things

2393
01:25:06,480 --> 01:25:24,000
yeah i hear you on my right now

2394
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:25,440
tell them they haven't powered the vest

2395
01:25:25,440 --> 01:25:27,920
yet and i can't do that until he stands

2396
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:33,280
up

2397
01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:34,800
all right we got a couple more stuff

2398
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:37,040
going on right now they're putting on

2399
01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:38,960
the best powering it up with all the

2400
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:40,480
antennas and radios and getting

2401
01:25:40,480 --> 01:25:42,000
the boot on which has the antenna that

2402
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:43,520
we talked about i'll go through a couple

2403
01:25:43,520 --> 01:25:44,960
more youtube questions and

2404
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:46,560
i'm gonna do my best to see if i can

2405
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:48,320
answer them based on the time i've spent

2406
01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:49,679
around these experts and we'll see how

2407
01:25:49,679 --> 01:25:51,040
it goes i might have to call one of them

2408
01:25:51,040 --> 01:25:51,920
over

2409
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,800
so uh we went over where the balloons go

2410
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:57,360
what's the maximum height he will get to

2411
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,560
i think that might be a question for

2412
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:01,040
luke but we're looking at over ten

2413
01:26:01,040 --> 01:26:02,560
fifteen thousand feet again he's trying

2414
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,159
to be a dodge

2415
01:26:04,159 --> 01:26:08,880
in the sky it's pretty high

2416
01:26:08,880 --> 01:26:12,239
again anytime i talk to camera

2417
01:26:12,239 --> 01:26:13,360
what are some of the variable things

2418
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:14,960
that can 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 how

2501
01:28:49,920 --> 01:28:53,120
much of that mean so you can pull it out

2502
01:28:53,120 --> 01:29:04,800
yeah i got this now

2503
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,880
so we've already double checked the

2504
01:29:06,880 --> 01:29:08,560
whole harness everything that's all the

2505
01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:09,840
way up and we're going to check it on

2506
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:10,480
there as well

2507
01:29:10,480 --> 01:29:11,199
i'm talking about everything that's

2508
01:29:11,199 --> 01:29:12,880
covered up right now we've double

2509
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:14,080
checked this goes in

2510
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:17,360
this thing right

2511
01:29:17,360 --> 01:29:20,080
here okay so it'll be flopping when i

2512
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:21,840
jump

2513
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:24,320
this or no this is good everything's

2514
01:29:24,320 --> 01:29:25,679
good so just leave it like this

2515
01:29:25,679 --> 01:29:27,840
speak like this right where's the button

2516
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,760
that's it you hear it clicking

2517
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:31,040
that's it that's the button hello can

2518
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:32,639
you hear me that's the i don't have that

2519
01:29:32,639 --> 01:29:33,120
right

2520
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:35,679
hello did you hear me yeah this is well

2521
01:29:35,679 --> 01:29:37,520
this is the aviation radio yeah

2522
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:39,280
this is your back effect yeah that was

2523
01:29:39,280 --> 01:29:41,199
the backup backup this is the one

2524
01:29:41,199 --> 01:29:43,120
yeah this is the one you're talking

2525
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:44,639
about this is here yeah got it

2526
01:29:44,639 --> 01:29:46,239
yeah it doesn't have to be zipped all

2527
01:29:46,239 --> 01:29:48,639
the way okay we should tack this here

2528
01:29:48,639 --> 01:29:49,280
too

2529
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:50,880
oh it's because the the things are

2530
01:29:50,880 --> 01:29:57,040
flickering

2531
01:29:57,040 --> 01:29:58,960
yeah but they just they just vested him

2532
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:00,960
so it's covering the lids

2533
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,080
it'll come out as soon as parachutes on

2534
01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:18,840
goes on

2535
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:26,480
is

2536
01:30:26,480 --> 01:30:45,040
you're hearing nothing from me huh

2537
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:46,639
should i take the other one out the one

2538
01:30:46,639 --> 01:30:48,320
that's for the show yeah just leave it

2539
01:30:48,320 --> 01:30:49,360
for right this second because that's the

2540
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:50,239
only way we can

2541
01:30:50,239 --> 01:30:53,600
talk to you at the center

2542
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:55,120
let me go in the shape okay you're

2543
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:56,800

all the great one is that

2547
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,199
backup radio that's this one that's the

2548
01:31:17,199 --> 01:31:20,320
one

2549
01:31:20,320 --> 01:31:32,159

though right i'm gonna give you a five

2555
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:43,760
pound

01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:46,239
basketball unfortunately i wonder if we

2557
01:31:46,239 --> 01:31:46,960
can just

2558
01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:48,960
put it david they just weighed you that

2559
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,400
means we're pretty close they got the

01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:33,199
it on your arm as you're trying to reach

2611
01:34:33,199 --> 01:34:34,480
back to put that through the rig

2612
01:34:34,480 --> 01:34:36,239
and the rig catches which is what's

2613
01:34:36,239 --> 01:34:38,639
going to happen

2615
01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:41,920
your wrist

2616
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:43,119
you know what i mean when you put your

2617
01:34:43,119 --> 01:34:45,360
right arm through and then you put your

2618
01:34:45,360 --> 01:34:47,040
left arm you reach it back like this

2619
01:34:47,040 --> 01:34:49,840
and you're trying to hook it just be

2620
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:51,199
conscious that this could hook on it

2621
01:34:51,199 --> 01:34:51,600
okay

2622
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:54,320

sleeve

2624
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:58,080

2626
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:01,520

is about what i expect you to see when

2637
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:20,560
you open

2638
01:35:20,560 --> 01:35:23,520

okay the city the tower this is about

2642
01:35:27,840 --> 01:35:28,639
where you open

2745
01:41:34,480 --> 01:41:35,040

2751
01:41:44,239 --> 01:41:45,360

joy happiness confidence and peace above

2753
01:41:47,760 --> 01:41:49,760

2754
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:53,679
may he do this ascension

2755
01:41:53,679 --> 01:41:57,840
in beauty that he will be able to

2756
01:41:57,840 --> 01:42:02,639
have it completed and finished

2757
01:42:02,639 --> 01:42:05,840
in beauty and in joy and happiness and

2758
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:08,320
confidence and peace

2759
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:25,520
all around him and in him

2760
01:42:25,520 --> 01:42:29,440
all as well all as well

2761
01:42:29,440 --> 01:42:40,840
okay ahead yes

2762
01:42:40,840 --> 01:42:53,760
okay

2763
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:55,920
attention feels more ambitious than all

2764
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:59,199
of my other stunts combined

2765
01:42:59,199 --> 01:43:01,119
i want to grab a bunch of balloons and

2766
01:43:01,119 --> 01:43:02,960
fly as high as a jet

2767
01:43:02,960 --> 01:43:05,119
it might seem simple but in reality

2768
01:43:05,119 --> 01:43:07,679
there are some serious risks

2769
01:43:07,679 --> 01:43:09,520
if there's a balloon failure before i

2770
01:43:09,520 --> 01:43:11,840
put on my parachute i can go crashing to

2771
01:43:11,840 --> 01:43:12,480
the ground

2772
01:43:12,480 --> 01:43:13,840
if he doesn't put on his parachute he

2773
01:43:13,840 --> 01:43:16,080
dies so that's the switch

2774
01:43:16,080 --> 01:43:19,440
no no and for me the most dangerous part

2775
01:43:19,440 --> 01:43:21,440
of this is landing safely

2776
01:43:21,440 --> 01:43:23,520
shut her down all the way no whoa whoa

2777
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:24,639
whoa

2778
01:43:24,639 --> 01:43:27,199
i've never had to land on terrain that's

2779
01:43:27,199 --> 01:43:30,320
this difficult in my life

2780
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:32,800
but at the same time i'm so excited to

2781
01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:34,960
pull this off

2782
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:42,960
what are we doing here

2783
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:46,400
i had to shove it way deep

2784
01:43:46,400 --> 01:43:48,639
yeah you might have to always mess with

2785
01:43:48,639 --> 01:43:49,840
a little bit but

2786
01:43:49,840 --> 01:43:52,239

to get real here at some point

3028
01:59:25,760 --> 01:59:28,960
got it when he comes back whenever he's

3029
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:29,440

02:00:28,080 --> 02:00:30,000
and bert would like you to drop one more

3040
02:00:30,000 --> 02:00:32,480

3042
02:00:38,080 --> 02:00:48,880

3047
02:00:56,960 --> 02:01:13,199
they got eyes on it

3048
02:01:13,199 --> 02:01:20,840
you coffee i got you on 48 4 900 feet

3049
02:01:20,840 --> 02:01:22,020
david

3050
02:01:24,320 --> 02:01:27,599
tell me when to release the next one

3051
02:01:27,599 --> 02:01:32,320
okay don't drop any more david we have

3052
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:34,400
yet 4 900 feet and uh

3053
02:01:34,400 --> 02:01:38,719
why are you dropping those weights

3054
02:01:38,719 --> 02:01:41,520
fade again um explain to us why you're

3055
02:01:41,520 --> 02:01:42,719
dropping those weights what are you

3056
02:01:42,719 --> 02:01:44,480
doing

3057
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:46,239
i'm dropping the weight so i can get

3058
02:01:46,239 --> 02:01:48,480
more ascent rate going up so i'm

3059
02:01:48,480 --> 02:01:49,840
dropping the

3060
02:01:49,840 --> 02:01:51,599
so basically i become lighter so the

3061
02:01:51,599 --> 02:01:54,800
balloons can bring me up higher

3062
02:01:54,800 --> 02:01:56,239
you know i mean when he's over the

3063
02:01:56,239 --> 02:01:57,520
airport i want to get rid of all that

3064
02:01:57,520 --> 02:01:59,199
when he's here

3065
02:01:59,199 --> 02:02:01,119
and now we're flying exactly as dawn

3066
02:02:01,119 --> 02:02:02,719
predicted

3067
02:02:02,719 --> 02:02:05,199
this is going right over this most

3068
02:02:05,199 --> 02:02:06,560

even look like i'm on earth

3071
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:12,480
it's amazing and i think it's not ready

3072
02:02:12,480 --> 02:02:13,920
to drop another one so we're making sure

3073
02:02:13,920 --> 02:02:15,280
we're in a safe area we can go pick

3074
02:02:15,280 --> 02:02:18,239
those up

3075
02:02:18,239 --> 02:02:23,199
i'm at 51.50 you're ready

3076
02:02:23,199 --> 02:02:25,920
okay david it's on you to balance one

3077
02:02:25,920 --> 02:02:26,320
more

3078
02:02:26,320 --> 02:02:30,080

3081
02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:38,560
okay releasing one more

3082
02:02:38,560 --> 02:02:42,400
okay so uh don and bert

3083
02:02:42,400 --> 02:02:44,560
i'm gonna want him to get those off

3084
02:02:44,560 --> 02:02:46,719
fairly soon because then we're gonna

3085
02:02:46,719 --> 02:02:48,719
hook up a safety and start doing other

3086
02:02:48,719 --> 02:02:49,760
stuff okay

3087
02:02:49,760 --> 02:02:51,599
so you tell me when it's on you guys

3088
02:02:51,599 --> 02:02:53,040
okay what you want it's four thousand

3089
02:02:53,040 --> 02:02:54,480
agl right yeah okay

3090
02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:57,199
white hour five thousand what for fifty

02:02:57,199 --> 02:03:12,960
three hundred

3092
02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:15,520

3093
02:03:15,520 --> 02:03:16,320
him to

3094
02:03:16,320 --> 02:03:17,920
five to six hundred i think we need to

02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:20,320
do it right

3096
02:03:20,320 --> 02:03:21,920
so damon you look like you're in a great

3097
02:03:21,920 --> 02:03:23,920
safe spot and we can recover all these

3098
02:03:23,920 --> 02:03:25,679
weights if you uh don't mind dropping

3099
02:03:25,679 --> 02:03:28,639

uh sure one second put this on

3103
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:40,840
and then when you talk for us to avoid

3104
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:49,760
hey

02:13:12,560 --> 02:13:13,920
yeah

3290
02:13:13,920 --> 02:13:17,040
then yeah hold on okay

3291
02:13:17,040 --> 02:13:20,560
altimeter okay good this says

3292
02:13:20,560 --> 02:13:24,480
agl 5000 this other one says msl

3293
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:26,880
almost ten thousand is that accurate

3294
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:28,960
that is accurate you are correct

3295
02:13:28,960 --> 02:13:31,920
can you um show me your altimeter hold

3296
02:13:31,920 --> 02:13:34,560
it in front of the camera yeah

3297
02:13:34,560 --> 02:13:38,639
well it's hard to turn it can you see

3298
02:13:38,639 --> 02:13:42,320
oh wait i can extend this out

3299
02:13:42,320 --> 02:13:46,239
okay can you see it like that

3300
02:13:46,239 --> 02:13:49,440
yes we can and then then you see this

3301
02:13:49,440 --> 02:13:52,159
one

3302
02:13:52,159 --> 02:13:53,840
that one's a little bit tougher but all

3303
02:13:53,840 --> 02:13:59,840
your optimal

3304
02:13:59,840 --> 02:14:01,760
we're on we're connected now we're good

3305
02:14:01,760 --> 02:14:03,440
right you're correct

3306
02:14:03,440 --> 02:14:05,440
and that's for you from now on david

3307
02:14:05,440 --> 02:14:07,360
look at your altimeter on your right

3308
02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:09,840
wrist then i'm gonna the one you just

3309
02:14:09,840 --> 02:14:18,800
put on yeah

3310
02:14:18,800 --> 02:14:22,880
okay

3311
02:14:22,880 --> 02:14:25,040
hold on now we can't do that yet he's

3312
02:14:25,040 --> 02:14:28,320
busy

3313
02:14:28,320 --> 02:14:33,599
okay 10 000 msl

3314
02:14:33,599 --> 02:14:38,639
okay

3315
02:14:38,639 --> 02:14:41,360
okay i'm ready to speed the ascent rate

3316
02:14:41,360 --> 02:14:42,960
when you guys want

3317
02:14:42,960 --> 02:14:44,560
so david we want to hang on for one

3318
02:14:44,560 --> 02:14:45,840
second what i want you to do is do your

3319
02:14:45,840 --> 02:14:47,199
checks of threes just double check your

3320
02:14:47,199 --> 02:14:47,840
leg strap

3321
02:14:47,840 --> 02:14:50,480
chest okay i'm hard to hear you but hold

3322
02:14:50,480 --> 02:14:51,119
on

3323
02:14:51,119 --> 02:14:56,239
chest strap good chest strap connected

3324
02:14:56,239 --> 02:15:00,880
chest strap is good leg strap connected

3325
02:15:00,880 --> 02:15:05,599
and tight

3326
02:15:05,599 --> 02:15:08,100
okay over the

3327
02:15:21,440 --> 02:15:23,199
correct let's uh obviously not do that

3328
02:15:23,199 --> 02:15:25,199
yet but if you're looking at the lake

3329
02:15:25,199 --> 02:15:27,360
straight behind you right now you're

3330
02:15:27,360 --> 02:15:29,440
about to start

3331
02:15:29,440 --> 02:15:30,880
looking at the i don't know i'm not

3332
02:15:30,880 --> 02:15:33,119
looking i think i'm looking the other

3333
02:15:33,119 --> 02:15:34,320
way luke

3334
02:15:34,320 --> 02:15:35,760
correct i'm watching what you're looking

3335
02:15:35,760 --> 02:15:37,360
at i'm just telling you you're now

3336
02:15:37,360 --> 02:15:38,800
starting to move backwards from the

3337
02:15:38,800 --> 02:15:40,079
direction you're looking

3338
02:15:40,079 --> 02:15:42,239
which is great and to your right that's

3339
02:15:42,239 --> 02:15:43,119
taking you to the

3340
02:15:43,119 --> 02:15:44,719
south we're all we're also getting

3341
02:15:44,719 --> 02:15:46,800
boiling hot on that back thing by the

3342
02:15:46,800 --> 02:15:48,719
way

3343
02:15:48,719 --> 02:15:50,800
yeah shocker for you and me huh hold on

3344
02:15:50,800 --> 02:15:52,639
wait let me just connect these really

3345
02:15:52,639 --> 02:15:56,880
quick hold on

3346
02:15:56,880 --> 02:15:58,560
now's the time to do anything that you

3347
02:15:58,560 --> 02:16:00,639
need um you got lots of time you're

3348
02:16:00,639 --> 02:16:02,840
safe at the moment everything looks good

3349
02:16:02,840 --> 02:16:16,840
yeah

3350
02:16:16,840 --> 02:16:21,679
okay

3351
02:16:21,679 --> 02:16:32,690
i feel like i'm there with him

3352
02:16:38,800 --> 02:16:41,840
ah

3353
02:16:41,840 --> 02:16:48,240
monica msr

3354
02:16:48,240 --> 02:16:55,280
perfect

3355
02:16:55,280 --> 02:17:00,240
i see planes below that's all fine yeah

3356
02:17:00,240 --> 02:17:01,599
everything's great here

3357
02:17:01,599 --> 02:17:03,519
um if you wouldn't mind because we are

3358
02:17:03,519 --> 02:17:04,800
at only about 11

3359
02:17:04,800 --> 02:17:07,280
000 feet i would love to get a pulse ox

3360
02:17:07,280 --> 02:17:08,639
reading on you now

3361
02:17:08,639 --> 02:17:10,559
uh before it starts to get thin up there

3362
02:17:10,559 --> 02:17:15,920
if you have time

3363
02:17:15,920 --> 02:17:27,679
pulse oximeter coming on

3364
02:17:27,679 --> 02:17:29,599
once you get a reading if you could hold

3365
02:17:29,599 --> 02:17:31,439
it in front of the camera lens um

3366
02:17:31,439 --> 02:17:40,840
if it's if you're able to

3367
02:17:40,840 --> 02:18:01,359
yes

3368
02:18:01,359 --> 02:18:06,559
oxygen started low but now it's climbing

3369
02:18:06,559 --> 02:18:09,840
heart rate at 145 pulse oximeter at 93

3370
02:18:09,840 --> 02:18:10,880
and climbing

3371
02:18:10,880 --> 02:18:12,399
i'm not going to talk for a minute just

3372
02:18:12,399 --> 02:18:16,800
to get it up

3373
02:18:16,800 --> 02:18:18,399
so this is where david's doing his

3374
02:18:18,399 --> 02:18:20,240
breathing technique to try to adjust his

3375
02:18:20,240 --> 02:18:21,280
oxygen

3376
02:18:21,280 --> 02:18:22,719
it was low when he put it on and then

3377
02:18:22,719 --> 02:18:24,800
brought it back up but he's on

3378
02:18:24,800 --> 02:18:38,800
about 12 000 feet

3379
02:18:38,800 --> 02:18:40,479
you're right luke about breathing is

3380
02:18:40,479 --> 02:18:42,559
definitely more difficult

3381
02:18:42,559 --> 02:18:44,240
with this on but when i find the right

3382
02:18:44,240 --> 02:18:47,439
position it seems to help

3383
02:18:47,439 --> 02:18:50,000
so david why don't you look down and to

3384
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:51,120
your right a little bit

3385
02:18:51,120 --> 02:18:53,519
you should start to see the landing area

3386
02:18:53,519 --> 02:18:56,820
that we talked about

3387
02:19:04,080 --> 02:19:06,800
can you see it it's upside down though

3388
02:19:06,800 --> 02:19:08,479
yeah keep holding it there i'm trying to

3389
02:19:08,479 --> 02:19:10,160
get an angle on it's really difficult in

3390
02:19:10,160 --> 02:19:11,359
the sun but

3391
02:19:11,359 --> 02:19:21,439
me seeing it that looks pretty good

3392
02:19:21,439 --> 02:19:23,439
you're going 13 miles an hour across the

3393
02:19:23,439 --> 02:19:25,599
ground and you're going up at 500 feet a

3394
02:19:25,599 --> 02:19:26,319
minute

3395
02:19:26,319 --> 02:19:29,920
okay okay

3396
02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:32,000
so david can you do me a favor and look

3397
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:34,559
down and to your right you should start

3398
02:19:34,559 --> 02:19:35,599
to see

3399
02:19:35,599 --> 02:19:38,800
the area yeah i see i see i see page

3400
02:19:38,800 --> 02:19:42,399
and in front of me i see some fields the

3401
02:19:42,399 --> 02:19:45,599
two baseball fields

3402
02:19:45,599 --> 02:19:48,160
straight in front of you if you look

3403
02:19:48,160 --> 02:19:49,280
straight in front of you out in front of

3404
02:19:49,280 --> 02:19:50,720
you on the left you see that little mesa

3405
02:19:50,720 --> 02:19:51,120
that

3406
02:19:51,120 --> 02:19:54,640
parallels the road yep yep

3407
02:19:54,640 --> 02:19:57,359
you got it right right next to that busy

3408
02:19:57,359 --> 02:20:00,000
area correct in front of the two ponds

3409
02:20:00,000 --> 02:20:01,760
correct exactly you're looking right at

3410
02:20:01,760 --> 02:20:02,880
it that's where we're saying that's what

3411
02:20:02,880 --> 02:20:03,840
we're aiming for that's what we're

3412
02:20:03,840 --> 02:20:05,040
aiming for correct

3413
02:20:05,040 --> 02:20:08,720
correct we're still aiming okay okay

3414
02:20:08,720 --> 02:20:10,240
that's good because i can see that

3415
02:20:10,240 --> 02:20:13,520
perfectly

3416
02:20:13,520 --> 02:20:16,080
hey don can you tell me the distance

3417
02:20:16,080 --> 02:20:17,840
laughing by the way so let me not talk

3418
02:20:17,840 --> 02:20:19,920
for a minute

3419
02:20:19,920 --> 02:20:21,840
yeah it's on you man um you do whatever

3428
02:20:54,880 --> 02:20:56,840
correct

3429
02:20:56,840 --> 02:21:00,560
affirmative o2 climbing

3430
02:21:00,560 --> 02:21:02,720
whenever i talk it goes down so can you

3431
02:21:02,720 --> 02:21:03,680

02:21:13,680 --> 02:21:17,200
climbing at 96.

3438
02:21:17,200 --> 02:21:21,280
it's upside down but

3439
02:21:21,280 --> 02:21:24,880
95. and i don't need that exact on just

3440
02:21:24,880 --> 02:21:27,920
close

3441
02:21:27,920 --> 02:21:29,280
make yourself comfortable make sure you

3442
02:21:29,280 --> 02:21:30,960
move around a little bit and

3443
02:21:30,960 --> 02:21:34,319
yeah how's the temperature

3444
02:21:34,319 --> 02:21:36,000
you know you're saying this ascent rate

3445
02:21:36,000 --> 02:21:37,600
is good don and burt we're good with

3446
02:21:37,600 --> 02:21:38,560
this

3447
02:21:38,560 --> 02:21:40,080
affirmative bert sitting next to me he

said yes okay

3449
02:21:47,680 --> 02:21:51,120
how's the temperature i wish it got

3450
02:21:51,120 --> 02:21:52,000
colder

3451
02:21:52,000 --> 02:21:55,680
asked noodles why

3452
02:21:55,680 --> 02:21:58,479
oh it'll get colder i just we still have

3453
02:21:58,479 --> 02:21:59,359
your gloves

3454
02:21:59,359 --> 02:22:01,200
um but there's no need for that until

3455
02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:03,600
you no yeah we don't need them yet

3456
02:22:03,600 --> 02:22:05,760
see look at my oxygen right now can you

3457
02:22:05,760 --> 02:22:07,600
see it because i was talking do you see

3458
02:22:07,600 --> 02:22:09,040
what it says

3459
02:22:09,040 --> 02:22:11,680
90 and dropping can you see it yes

3460
02:22:11,680 --> 02:22:12,399
certainly

3461
02:22:12,399 --> 02:22:15,600
fast can you see it 88 don't you see it

3462
02:22:15,600 --> 02:22:17,200
now watch i'm going to start breathing

3463
02:22:17,200 --> 02:22:19,200
watch what happens ready and this is at

3464
02:22:19,200 --> 02:22:21,600
almost 14 000 feet ready

3465
02:22:21,600 --> 02:22:24,240
starting my purging now can you can we

3466
02:22:24,240 --> 02:22:24,800
see that

3467
02:22:24,800 --> 02:22:35,200
sorta

3468
02:22:35,200 --> 02:22:37,120
rotate it don't talk but just rotate it

3469
02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:38,000
a little bit more so there's no

3470
02:22:38,000 --> 02:22:50,000
reflection so more straight up and down

3471
02:22:50,000 --> 02:22:52,240
so david at this altitude it's about 60

3472
02:22:52,240 --> 02:22:53,680
percent of the oxygen you have on the

3473
02:22:53,680 --> 02:22:54,960
ground

3474
02:22:54,960 --> 02:22:57,760
see it climbing 95. can you see what's

3475
02:22:57,760 --> 02:22:58,960
that

3476
02:22:58,960 --> 02:23:02,160
donk can you see

3477
02:23:02,160 --> 02:23:07,200
2.1 perfect short right can you see

3478
02:23:07,200 --> 02:23:09,840
uh yeah it's small in my monitor but um

3479
02:23:09,840 --> 02:23:10,720
yeah there you go

3480
02:23:10,720 --> 02:23:19,200
close as you can almost

3481
02:23:19,200 --> 02:23:20,560
all right that looks good for us david

this is for you now and then um you're

3483
02:23:22,560 --> 02:23:24,560
climbing 5 600 feet a minute

3484
02:23:24,560 --> 02:23:26,720
you're at 14 000 feet everything's

3485
02:23:26,720 --> 02:23:27,600
looking can you see

3486
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:31,120
can you see the o2 can you see that

3487
02:23:31,120 --> 02:23:32,720
no i don't think that we're going to be

3488
02:23:32,720 --> 02:23:34,240
able to reflect

3489
02:23:34,240 --> 02:23:36,479
can you do it now i'll block here like

3490
02:23:36,479 --> 02:23:38,640
this

3491
02:23:38,640 --> 02:23:40,160

we start to go high

3572
02:27:10,080 --> 02:27:12,479
where it starts to get nice and cold but

3573
02:27:12,479 --> 02:27:13,920
remember we went to

3574
02:27:13,920 --> 02:27:16,319
the arctic circle and we had new year's

3575
02:27:16,319 --> 02:27:17,200
eve and

3576
02:27:17,200 --> 02:27:20,160
freezing cold temperatures well that was

3577
02:27:20,160 --> 02:27:22,720
helping to prepare for this

3578
02:27:22,720 --> 02:27:26,000
so we're gonna be good yep so

3579
02:27:26,000 --> 02:27:29,280

hotel in finland where it was

3582
02:27:33,920 --> 02:27:36,640
where it was minus freezing temperatures

3583
02:27:36,640 --> 02:27:38,160

02:31:10,640 --> 02:31:12,160
crazy

3652
02:31:12,160 --> 02:31:18,080
thank you jim sue wayne and kurt carlos

3653
02:31:18,080 --> 02:31:20,640
you guys worked hard with the faa and

3654
02:31:20,640 --> 02:31:24,240
you've been amazing as well

3655
02:31:24,240 --> 02:31:25,760
how are you feeling with your breathing

3656
02:31:25,760 --> 02:31:27,760
are you feeling still coherent

3657
02:31:27,760 --> 02:31:30,720
coherent perfect if i talk to i'm not

3658
02:31:30,720 --> 02:31:33,120
though

3659
02:31:33,120 --> 02:31:35,520
so um when you're up there and you're uh

3660
02:31:35,520 --> 02:31:36,880
you're dripping you're starting to pick

3661
02:31:36,880 --> 02:31:38,720
up ground speed which is great

3662
02:31:38,720 --> 02:31:40,399
but now you look down you're probably

3663
02:31:40,399 --> 02:31:43,439
almost straight over the top of the lz

3664
02:31:43,439 --> 02:31:45,840
i see it perfectly i call it lz whatever

3665
02:31:45,840 --> 02:31:47,359
it's the desert the spot we picked out

3666
02:31:47,359 --> 02:31:47,920
there

3667
02:31:47,920 --> 02:31:51,280
so we're in a class a right now

3668
02:31:51,280 --> 02:31:53,040
yeah perfect so uh yeah we're in the

3669
02:31:53,040 --> 02:31:54,800
class a you're gonna keep rolling and

3670
02:31:54,800 --> 02:31:56,080
then

3671
02:31:56,080 --> 02:31:58,350
i'll keep you posted on altitude

3672
02:32:04,160 --> 02:32:10,399
yep i'm not going to take that off

3673
02:32:10,399 --> 02:32:12,800
so uh can you uh i'm trying to check

3674
02:32:12,800 --> 02:32:14,399
your coherency what's the class a

3675
02:32:14,399 --> 02:32:15,680
airspace what's that mean

3676
02:32:15,680 --> 02:32:19,280
class a's at 18 000. we're at 18 2

3677
02:32:19,280 --> 02:32:22,880
perfectly coherent

3678
02:32:22,880 --> 02:32:25,040
can i just fly into 18 000 foot air

3679
02:32:25,040 --> 02:32:25,920
space with my

3680
02:32:25,920 --> 02:32:29,200
talking to anybody i could hear you

3681
02:32:29,200 --> 02:32:30,800
can i just go up there and fly around at

3682
02:32:30,800 --> 02:32:32,720
18 no it is not allowed when you hit

3683
02:32:32,720 --> 02:32:35,040
12-5 as a pilot you need to go on

3684
02:32:35,040 --> 02:32:36,960
and i'm going to go on but with o2

3685
02:32:36,960 --> 02:32:38,720
levels being at 98 it's

3686
02:32:38,720 --> 02:32:42,640
not okay but if 15 is a requirement

3687
02:32:42,640 --> 02:32:44,399
and i'm about to go on it i just want to

3688
02:32:44,399 --> 02:32:46,160
be comfortable when i put it on so i'm

3689
02:32:46,160 --> 02:32:46,960
okay

3690
02:32:46,960 --> 02:32:48,880
clearing my release so i just want to

3691
02:32:48,880 --> 02:32:50,560
wait until i feel comfortable

3692
02:32:50,560 --> 02:32:52,640
and as soon as i feel the slight bit not

3693
02:32:52,640 --> 02:32:55,200
comfortable this will go on

3694
02:32:55,200 --> 02:32:57,120
yeah it looks it looks great i'm i'm

3695
02:32:57,120 --> 02:32:58,160
fine with you with doing what you're

3696
02:32:58,160 --> 02:32:59,200
doing dave it looks great you're

3697
02:32:59,200 --> 02:33:00,880
obviously talking clear

3698
02:33:00,880 --> 02:33:02,960
you have about half the oxygen you do

3699
02:33:02,960 --> 02:33:04,080
here on the ground

3700
02:33:04,080 --> 02:33:11,439
up there above 18.

3701
02:33:11,439 --> 02:33:13,920
and dawn you're going to tell me when we

3702
02:33:13,920 --> 02:33:14,720
get to like

3703
02:33:14,720 --> 02:33:18,319
one mile pass

3704
02:33:18,319 --> 02:33:20,080
okay so then we probably need to start

3705
02:33:20,080 --> 02:33:21,520
telling without the today's deal am i

3706
02:33:21,520 --> 02:33:23,840
opening the parachute um

3707
02:33:23,840 --> 02:33:25,840
5 000 feet we're going to open up 5 000

3708
02:33:25,840 --> 02:33:27,920
feet agl

3709
02:33:27,920 --> 02:33:30,640
agl the altimeter on your right excuse

3710
02:33:30,640 --> 02:33:31,920
me your left wrist the one you just

3711
02:33:31,920 --> 02:33:33,280
switched

3712
02:33:33,280 --> 02:33:35,840
so we're about five minutes we're at 19

3713
02:33:35,840 --> 02:33:36,560
000 feet

3714
02:33:36,560 --> 02:33:43,920
feeling great good copy david

3715
02:33:43,920 --> 02:33:45,439
i wish we could dump just a little more

3716
02:33:45,439 --> 02:33:47,520
ballast to get it punch that up a little

3717
02:33:47,520 --> 02:33:49,040
bit don

3718
02:33:49,040 --> 02:33:50,560
i i don't know it's up to you guys i

3719
02:33:50,560 --> 02:33:53,520
mean i just

3720
02:33:53,520 --> 02:33:57,040
yeah what's that

3721
02:33:57,040 --> 02:34:00,840
did you want to hurry

3722
02:34:00,840 --> 02:34:04,080
yeah let me see hey david um

3723
02:34:04,080 --> 02:34:05,600
because we're moving across the ground a

3724
02:34:05,600 --> 02:34:08,080
little bit i would like to

3725
02:34:08,080 --> 02:34:11,120
uh have them dump like a five pound shot

3726
02:34:11,120 --> 02:34:12,240
of that shot

3727
02:34:12,240 --> 02:34:17,600
then let me let me wait and let me go

3728
02:34:17,600 --> 02:34:20,399
let me go on the o2 before we do that

3729
02:34:20,399 --> 02:34:21,920
yeah and we don't so the sand doesn't

3730
02:34:21,920 --> 02:34:22,800
dump on it

3731
02:34:22,800 --> 02:34:24,080
but if we want to reach your target

3732
02:34:24,080 --> 02:34:26,720
altitude safe landing zone we need to

3733
02:34:26,720 --> 02:34:43,359
increase the camera

3734
02:34:43,359 --> 02:34:45,920
19-4 they're looking good i'm getting

3735
02:34:45,920 --> 02:34:47,120
worried i want you to think about

3736
02:34:47,120 --> 02:34:50,319
putting that o2 on

3737
02:34:50,319 --> 02:34:53,920
come on

3738
02:34:53,920 --> 02:34:55,920
okay we're losing the distance like they

3739
02:34:55,920 --> 02:35:10,399
do when you're in the

3740
02:35:10,399 --> 02:35:11,600
i know you're trying to cross that

3741
02:35:11,600 --> 02:35:13,520
20-foot line i think you should put that

3742
02:35:13,520 --> 02:35:13,920
on

3743
02:35:13,920 --> 02:35:15,920
um your buddies next to me let me cross

3744
02:35:15,920 --> 02:35:17,200
let me cross 20

3745
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:20,319
20 and it goes on we're at 19 7.

3746
02:35:20,319 --> 02:35:22,880
okay my advice is ask me a few questions

3747
02:35:22,880 --> 02:35:25,439
ask me a few complicated questions

3748
02:35:25,439 --> 02:35:27,120
he wants to ask a complicated question

3749
02:35:27,120 --> 02:35:28,640
you got a story or something

3750
02:35:28,640 --> 02:35:30,399
but he needs to i mean it's getting real

3751
02:35:30,399 --> 02:35:31,760
now

3752
02:35:31,760 --> 02:35:37,760
yeah we're at 19 8.

3753
02:35:37,760 --> 02:35:41,500
my o2 level is definitely at 96.97

3754
02:35:43,200 --> 02:35:44,880
every time i hold my breath on stage

3755
02:35:44,880 --> 02:35:46,319
i've done over a thousand breath holds

3756
02:35:46,319 --> 02:35:47,760
at 10 minutes apiece

3757
02:35:47,760 --> 02:35:49,920
i have hyperventilated on puro too

3758
02:35:49,920 --> 02:35:51,439
nobody should ever try this it's very

3759
02:35:51,439 --> 02:35:52,240
dangerous

3760
02:35:52,240 --> 02:35:54,319
and i know exactly how i feel when i get

3761
02:35:54,319 --> 02:35:56,399
tingly i know every single fine

3762
02:35:56,399 --> 02:35:59,120
okay david you're one mile past the lz

3763
02:35:59,120 --> 02:36:00,479
so if we want to hit that target

3764
02:36:00,479 --> 02:36:01,200
altitude

3765
02:36:01,200 --> 02:36:02,720
we need to dump some ballast so you need

3766
02:36:02,720 --> 02:36:06,240
to put the o2 on

3767
02:36:06,240 --> 02:36:09,520
okay o2 is going on great

3768
02:36:09,520 --> 02:36:11,600
give me a thumbs up when you're ready to

3769
02:36:11,600 --> 02:36:12,880
and you cross through 20

3770
02:36:12,880 --> 02:36:13,920
give me a thumbs up when you're ready

3771
02:36:13,920 --> 02:36:15,520
for ballast don't let it get in your

3772
02:36:15,520 --> 02:36:17,359
eyes please

3773
02:36:17,359 --> 02:36:18,880

and we're good on you so they're getting

3776
02:36:23,680 --> 02:36:25,840
ready to dump ballast david

3777

it's on you whenever you're ready

3778
02:36:29,439 --> 02:36:36,479

give me a thumbs up if you feel you're

3780
02:36:37,680 --> 02:36:41,439
getting good o2 flow

3781
02:36:41,439 --> 02:36:44,479
the o2 flows terrible up here push on

3782
02:36:44,479 --> 02:36:45,920
the back button on the regulator and

3783
02:36:45,920 --> 02:36:48,840

3784
02:36:48,840 --> 02:36:51,240
mouth that's way better right

3785
02:36:53,680 --> 02:36:57,920

i like to see what i'm seeing

3800
02:37:31,760 --> 02:37:32,880
and then when you turn your camera

3801
02:37:32,880 --> 02:37:34,880

02:37:55,120 --> 02:37:58,800
and uh how are we on distance

3808
02:37:58,800 --> 02:38:01,040
how are we on distance let's dump some

3809
02:38:01,040 --> 02:38:02,479
ballast

3810
02:38:02,479 --> 02:38:04,080

3814
02:38:19,120 --> 02:38:20,000
david we're through

3815
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:23,120
21 000 feet um if they don't dump

soon i'm going to uh i want you to look

3818
02:38:26,160 --> 02:38:28,319
down now and see if you can see your uh

3819
02:38:28,319 --> 02:38:31,680
a potential landing area if you can give

3820
02:38:31,680 --> 02:38:32,479
me a thumbs up

3821
02:38:32,479 --> 02:38:35,040

great looks good how high are we right

3824
02:38:39,920 --> 02:38:40,240
now

3825
02:38:40,240 --> 02:38:41,680
no way to dump ballots at this point

3826
02:38:41,680 --> 02:38:43,760
right how what are we

3827
02:38:43,760 --> 02:38:46,880
at altitude right now

3828
02:38:46,880 --> 02:38:49,920
over 21 21 200 feet everything's good on

3829
02:38:49,920 --> 02:38:51,280
my end give me a thumbs up if you're

3830
02:38:51,280 --> 02:38:54,479
still comfortable

3831
02:38:54,479 --> 02:38:56,590
as comfortable as you can be up there

3832
02:39:02,080 --> 02:39:04,000
is is there a way to know roughly how

3833
02:39:04,000 --> 02:39:05,920
far away he is right now

3834
02:39:05,920 --> 02:39:08,000
from that from the potential landing

3835
02:39:08,000 --> 02:39:09,600
zone

3836
02:39:09,600 --> 02:39:11,520
we're getting closer too i don't want to

3837
02:39:11,520 --> 02:39:12,940
exceed like two and a half

3838
02:39:16,560 --> 02:39:18,399
he says he sees it perfect and the winds

3839
02:39:18,399 --> 02:39:20,880
are light so he'll get back no problem

3840
02:39:20,880 --> 02:39:23,439
but for sure not over three we're

3841
02:39:23,439 --> 02:39:27,840
jumping before three no matter what

3842
02:39:27,840 --> 02:39:29,040
everything's looking good i'm not

3843
02:39:29,040 --> 02:39:30,399
talking just give you a little time

3844
02:39:30,399 --> 02:39:32,080
we're working out some details here

3845
02:39:34,399 --> 02:39:36,399
look i see another good landing area for

3846
02:39:36,399 --> 02:39:39,120
my right

3847
02:39:39,120 --> 02:39:41,520
another one of these plateaus how does

3848
02:39:41,520 --> 02:39:43,040
it look to you that one to my right i'm

3849
02:39:43,040 --> 02:39:44,800
gonna point the camera down

3850
02:39:44,800 --> 02:39:52,640
okay let's check it out yeah that

3851
02:39:52,640 --> 02:39:54,479
that is sort of it i would head back

3852
02:39:54,479 --> 02:39:56,240
towards the the ponds

3853
02:39:56,240 --> 02:39:58,319
those little yeah the two pawns in the

3854
02:39:58,319 --> 02:40:00,000
airport and then you'll see the nice

3855
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:01,920
spot

3856
02:40:01,920 --> 02:40:05,040
i can't hear you so

3857
02:40:05,040 --> 02:40:07,040
that is affirmative in between we are

3858
02:40:07,040 --> 02:40:08,319
going to okay

3859
02:40:08,319 --> 02:40:09,680
you're going to go back towards the

3860
02:40:09,680 --> 02:40:10,960
airport you're still looking good you're

3861
02:40:10,960 --> 02:40:12,720
only two miles from that lz right this

3862
02:40:12,720 --> 02:40:14,160
second

3863
02:40:14,160 --> 02:40:16,319
i heard sand i heard he heard sand

3864
02:40:16,319 --> 02:40:18,560
confirmed you heard sand

3865
02:40:18,560 --> 02:40:20,800
he heard sand i heard something but

3866
02:40:20,800 --> 02:40:22,080
nothing fell

3867
02:40:22,080 --> 02:40:27,439
yet how high are we

3868
02:40:27,439 --> 02:40:30,880
22 100 feet

3869
02:40:30,880 --> 02:40:32,560
did you guys give a two minute call stan

3870
02:40:32,560 --> 02:40:37,280
yeah okay great

3871
02:40:39,439 --> 02:40:42,160
if the set rate is going up david you

3872
02:40:42,160 --> 02:40:43,279
might not have seen the same

3873
02:40:43,279 --> 02:40:45,600
but uh bert and don are saying that your

3874
02:40:45,600 --> 02:40:47,840
set rate is going up now faster so it's

3875
02:40:47,840 --> 02:40:48,640
all worked

3876
02:40:48,640 --> 02:40:50,319
why don't you pull that camera back up

3877
02:40:50,319 --> 02:40:51,760
so it's looking straight out in front of

3878
02:40:51,760 --> 02:40:55,760
you if you can

3879
02:40:55,760 --> 02:40:57,279
and in tight to your body you don't have

3880
02:40:57,279 --> 02:40:58,960
to answer me just push the whole thing

3881
02:40:58,960 --> 02:41:00,080
in tight to your body so it's not

3882
02:41:00,080 --> 02:41:03,520
sticking out there

3883
02:41:03,520 --> 02:41:12,960
there you go looks great what's that

3884
02:41:12,960 --> 02:41:15,520
so you're about 30 seconds from being at

3885
02:41:15,520 --> 02:41:16,240
23

3886
02:41:16,240 --> 02:41:22,479
000 feet

3887
02:41:22,479 --> 02:41:24,640
if you can pull that out and just let me

3888
02:41:24,640 --> 02:41:34,960
know that you see the landing area

3889
02:41:34,960 --> 02:41:38,399
great sounds good i can hear you

3890
02:41:38,399 --> 02:41:42,080
so you guys uh hey are you guys good

3891
02:41:42,080 --> 02:41:44,240
for him to i'm not saying jump right

3892
02:41:44,240 --> 02:41:45,920
this second but you're good for him to

3893
02:41:45,920 --> 02:41:47,359
jump at any moment

3894
02:41:47,359 --> 02:41:50,240
okay and you guys are ready to pop

3895
02:41:50,240 --> 02:41:50,880
balloons

3896
02:41:50,880 --> 02:41:54,080
atc you guys are ready if he's good you

3897
02:41:54,080 --> 02:41:55,680
speed the ascent rate up more

3898
02:41:55,680 --> 02:41:58,720
yes i am okay is it david

3899
02:41:58,720 --> 02:42:00,720
you're breathing in that stuff your uh

3900
02:42:00,720 --> 02:42:01,920
leg straps

3901
02:42:01,920 --> 02:42:04,800
your stirrups are still tight um so if

3902
02:42:04,800 --> 02:42:09,200
you can loosen them loosen them

3903
02:42:09,200 --> 02:42:10,399
you don't have to talk to me you're

3904
02:42:10,399 --> 02:42:11,439
either gonna get them loose or you're

3905
02:42:11,439 --> 02:42:17,270
not

3906
02:42:20,240 --> 02:42:21,760
remember when you open your parachute

3907
02:42:21,760 --> 02:42:30,060
you'll be able to get at them too

3908
02:42:32,240 --> 02:42:35,359
stand up on your right leg

3909
02:42:35,359 --> 02:42:42,640
maybe that'll help that one

3910
02:42:42,640 --> 02:42:46,550
23 500 feet there you go look good there

3911
02:42:47,840 --> 02:42:50,240
i got lick strap one now i'm gonna try

3912
02:42:50,240 --> 02:42:51,279
two

3913
02:42:51,279 --> 02:42:52,960
okay and make sure you're spraying that

3914
02:42:52,960 --> 02:42:54,240
thing you're purging that thing into

3915
02:42:54,240 --> 02:42:55,520
your face because i don't think the

3916
02:42:55,520 --> 02:42:57,700
flow's enough

3917
02:43:04,399 --> 02:43:05,680
this tab is gonna be a little higher

3918
02:43:05,680 --> 02:43:06,720
than the other one because that's the

3919
02:43:06,720 --> 02:43:08,220
side you're hanging from

3920
02:43:15,760 --> 02:43:18,160
and i need you to jump as whenever

3921
02:43:18,160 --> 02:43:20,080
you're comfortable put through

3922
02:43:20,080 --> 02:43:21,439
you know we're getting farther and

3923
02:43:21,439 --> 02:43:31,439
farther away farther and farther away

3924
02:43:31,439 --> 02:43:33,760
24 000 feet i would quit worrying about

3925
02:43:33,760 --> 02:43:35,200
that right now

3926
02:43:35,200 --> 02:43:37,279
and uh releasing that look i gotta get

3927
02:43:37,279 --> 02:43:38,240
it loose

3928
02:43:38,240 --> 02:43:40,080
luke i gotta get it loose let me get it

3929
02:43:40,080 --> 02:43:42,060
loose please i see the landing

3930
02:43:43,840 --> 02:43:45,520
remember under parachute you're able to

3931
02:43:45,520 --> 02:43:54,480
do it also

3932
02:44:00,720 --> 02:44:03,279
how far away are we from that spot three

3933
02:44:03,279 --> 02:44:05,279
yep

3934
02:44:05,279 --> 02:44:08,160
okay david so um it's gonna be on you

3935
02:44:08,160 --> 02:44:09,760
but i would like you instead of

3936
02:44:09,760 --> 02:44:11,279
five thousand feet opening i'd like you

3937
02:44:11,279 --> 02:44:13,040
to open at seven thousand feet

3938
02:44:13,040 --> 02:44:14,640
seven thousand feet so you can make it

3939
02:44:14,640 --> 02:44:19,200
back to the spot

3940
02:44:19,200 --> 02:44:21,520
you did a handle check so you're good

3941
02:44:21,520 --> 02:44:24,640
release the safety whenever you're ready

3942
02:44:24,640 --> 02:44:26,640
and it's on you we're all quiet here

3943
02:44:26,640 --> 02:44:28,800

great job buddy how do you look and you

3972
02:47:38,800 --> 02:47:41,439
see the landing area

3973
02:47:41,439 --> 02:47:45,600
yeah can i reach it it's far

3974
02:47:45,600 --> 02:47:49,279
it's far let me let me check it's far

3975
02:47:49,279 --> 02:47:53,040
it's far it's very far

3976
02:47:53,040 --> 02:47:54,640
okay then what we need you to do is

3977
02:47:54,640 --> 02:47:56,960
start looking for a nice flat spot out

3978
02:47:56,960 --> 02:47:57,920
there without

3979
02:47:57,920 --> 02:48:00,880
any power lines um a nice flat open spot

3980
02:48:00,880 --> 02:48:02,080
don't worry about coming back

3981
02:48:02,080 --> 02:48:05,680
just worry about a nice spot to land

3982
02:48:05,680 --> 02:48:10,000
okay yeah we're at 4 400.

3983
02:48:10,000 --> 02:48:12,560
4 400 feet that's what we have also

3984
02:48:12,560 --> 02:48:13,359
looks great

3985
02:48:13,359 --> 02:48:15,200
and you're gonna there's very light wind

3986
02:48:15,200 --> 02:48:18,560
so it doesn't matter when direction

3987
02:48:18,560 --> 02:48:21,600
which way is the wind going though

3988
02:48:21,600 --> 02:48:27,359
land facing the airport

3989
02:48:27,359 --> 02:48:32,240
the wind is going to the airport

3990
02:48:32,240 --> 02:48:35,600
no land with you looking at the airport

3991
02:48:35,600 --> 02:48:39,359
is the direction you want to land

3992
02:48:39,359 --> 02:48:42,840
i want to land towards the airport

3993
02:48:42,840 --> 02:48:46,160
correct

3994
02:48:46,160 --> 02:48:47,680
so i'm not going to turn i'm just going

3995
02:48:47,680 --> 02:48:50,000
to keep going straight

3996
02:48:50,000 --> 02:48:51,520
sounds good but make sure you pick a

3997
02:48:51,520 --> 02:48:53,359
nice spot you know if you have to turn

3998
02:48:53,359 --> 02:48:54,960
and pick somewhere farther away that's

3999
02:48:54,960 --> 02:48:55,359
better

4000
02:48:55,359 --> 02:48:59,279
do that are there power lines next to

4001
02:48:59,279 --> 02:49:00,960
this road

4002
02:49:00,960 --> 02:49:03,040
there is a skinny set right alongside

4003
02:49:03,040 --> 02:49:05,359
the road

4004
02:49:05,359 --> 02:49:06,960
but you'll see it you'll see it when you

4005
02:49:06,960 --> 02:49:08,560
get lower if you land

4006
02:49:08,560 --> 02:49:13,200
parallel with the road and offline

4007
02:49:13,200 --> 02:49:15,760
we're at 2 800 feet and we're right over

4008
02:49:15,760 --> 02:49:18,080
all this stuff

4009
02:49:18,080 --> 02:49:20,240
so you need to start looking picking a

4010
02:49:20,240 --> 02:49:24,319
spot pick a nice sandy spot there

4011
02:49:24,319 --> 02:49:26,800
okay and remember you don't have to get

4012
02:49:26,800 --> 02:49:28,240
away from this thing

4013
02:49:28,240 --> 02:49:30,160

4014
02:49:30,160 --> 02:49:32,160
road wherever you pick to land we got

4015
02:49:32,160 --> 02:49:36,319
