Are you considering the zero gravity and air pressure at 200,000 ft altitude. I would assume that it wouldn't take as much heat at such low pressures. I think the comparable model would be aeronautical balloons. The rise faster and fill fuller as they go higher due to lower pressures.

PS why 50 PSI my bicycle tire is 75 psi.

So what pressure would burst the tire? (at that altitude) And...I can't fathom anything coming down from that unscorched....cept tiles. (whatever the cause)

Space shuttle's main tires are filled with nitrogen at >> 340 PSI <<.

Well if you are correct about these figures, then of course I retract my previous observation.

One of these days I'll be as smart as you!
