Your researchers missed the most important one. Branson's record-breaking transatlantic Crossing in a high-altitude, high-tech pressurized balloon.

So Richard more or less threw out his co pilot

[@DubTheGreat]

I seen the video of some type of competition where Richard was on top of the hot air balloon,and a lady had to climb to the top by rope to have a tea party of all things there ..? The really odd part was I didn’t see a parachute on him at all
