Thanks, Thumbdog,

You hit it spot on! Just shows you how daring-do our forefathers were. Incidentally, (I guess to prove how safe it was), Professor Lowe, the owner of the balloon and equipment, and the area commander, General Danial Sickles went up in the first launch of the balloon, aptly named INTREPID.
