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

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

@Michael Ellis If you really did that you are a horrible person. But you didn't do it anyway.
You still are a horrible person for lying.
