    Great footage of the soldiers carrying the balloon.

    Why has no one just done this again. And seal the facts in. Probably alot easier to do this again with today's technology. If that man did it then, it should be no big deal today.

      You’d have several Blackhawks on your ass in no time. We aren’t allowed to explore anymore.

    OK. GREAT. SO, MY BIGGEST MAIN QUESTION HERE IS THIS:
    SINCE THE PICARD DID ASCEND UP IN ABOVE THE EARTH BY APPROXI-MATELY 10+ MILES, HE MUST ALSO HAVE HAD RECORDED HIS ENTIRE & THE WHOLE ASCENDING TRIP OR JOURNEY IN TO & THROUGH OUT UP THERE & PERHAPS EVEN BACK DOWN ON TO THE EARTH, RIGHT ? SO, WHERE THE HELL IS IT NOW ?? & WHY or FOR WHAT REASON IT IS NOT BEING PRESENTED & SHOWN HERE NOW NOR IN ANY OF TODAY’ SCHOOLS ??? FOR EACH & EVERY & ALL OF US TO SEE TO LEARN & TO KNOW ??? WHY IS IT BEING & BEEN PUT AWAY, SILENCED, FORGOTTEN SO COVERTLY DELIBERATELY KEPT SO DEEPLY HIDDEN FROM ALL OF US - THE MAJORITIES - OF PEOPLE & PUBLIC ???!!!

      Look up Popular Mechanics Magazine and Augustus Piccard,the magazine reported a few statements of note.
      1.earth from that altitude resembles an upturned plate (crater?)
      2.the air held a blue quality and was thick.
      3.samples of air were taken along with video of his trip.

      The entire article:
      Popular Science Monthly, August 1931
      Ten Miles High in an AIR-TIGHT BALL
      A huge yellow balloon soared skyward a few weeks ago, from Augsberg, Germany. Instead of a basket, it trailed an air-tight black-and-silver aluminum ball. Within Prof. Auguste Piccard, physicist, and Charles Kipfer aimed to explore the air 50,000 feet up. Seventeen hours later, after being given up for dead, they returned safely from an estimated height of more than 52,000 feet, almost ten miles, shattering every aircraft altitude record. Oxygen tanks kept them alive while they made observations. Records of their instruments are now being checked and interpreted. First to rise safely into the upper layer of the earth’s atmosphere, they found the air pressure at ten miles altitude so low - one-tenth of that at sea level-that a man exposed to it would perish much as a deep-sea fish bursts of its own internal pressure when brought to the earth’s surface. Picard and his aid found cosmic rays, mysterious radiations from outer space, far more powerful than at the earth’s surface, and gaged their intensity. The explorers trapped samples of the upper air, “blue air,” as Piccard reported it to appear, in cylinders. Analysis may prove it exceptionally rich in ozone,the intensely blue gas supposedly responsible for the Heaviside layer or “radio roof.” The story of their adventure surpasses fiction. During the ascent, the aluminum ball began to leak. They plugged it desperately with vaseline and cotton waste, stopping the leak. In the first half hour the balloon shot upward nine miles. Through portholes,the observers saw the earth through copper-colored, then bluish haze. It seemed a flat disk with upturned edge. At the ten-mile level the sky appeared a deep, dark blue. With observations complete, the observers tried to descend, but couldn’t. While their oxygen tanks emptied, they floated aimlessly over Germany, Austria, and Italy. Cool evening air contracted the ballon’s gas and brought them down on a glacier near Ober-Gurgl, Austria, with one hour’s supply of oxygen to spare.

    Didn't Professor Picard take any pictures of the stratosphere?

      Good question , if he was, in a enclosed , condition ,perhaps not ..didn't the camera have to explode a flash or something like that .
