Cole Thornton: Of course they gave up on trying to reach 65,000 feet. Those bright-boy exNASA reject engineers couldn't figure out how to do it. I designed a gas management system that would have gotten my original design to that altitude REGARDLESS of how heavy the structure was. The structure was put up on aircraft scales and weighed just over 1000 lbs....well within my design limits.

The exNASA rejects went over my head to Huff and cried on his shoulder telling him MY DESIGN won't exceed 30,000 feet. Yet a full year AFTER I left Sanswire, I see a photo with Bob Jones chubby little cheeks and he was quoted as saying the new Strat at Palmdale will only reach 30,000. Isn't that a strange coincidence?

The exNASA rejects had no idea as to how I would be able to attain 65,000 feet. No idea whatsoever. But, they nevertheless went over my head and stabbed me right in the back. So, when the initial contract with Stratodyne was broken, I felt no obligation to hand over my gas management system to anyone - let them figure it out for themselves - and they failed to do that too! I really doubt if they'll ever figure out how to increase helium lift from .003466 lbs., at altitude to a more workable number.

If a boat designer like me can figure it out, surely one or two of those bright-boy exNASA rejects could figure it out as well???? Thus far, they haven't and nobody is going to 65,000 feet any time soon.
