Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 12, 2023

That balloon goes up to about 20 miles. That is in the stratosphere which is still part of the Earth’s atmosphere. Not high enough to be considered in space. But it is pretty high.

I read where a company will take you down to see the Titanic, I wonder if I could get joined with my intended on that journey

I don’t think you’ll sink to that level.

“About $387,000”??? Sounds more like Heisenberg’s wheelchair.

That’s awfully expensive for a used wheelchair. Alick’s Home Medical Supply Company sells NEW ones for $300.

I think that runaway black hole is where Earth’s single socks end up.

May the stored be with you as it is with the key. And gesundheit.

Is the black hole running in our direction?

Sheldon Cooper was the winning bidder for the wheelchair.

The new owner of that wheelchair is hoping he gets some smarts through osmosis. So far he’s been disappointed

Is the floating capsule guaranteed not to burn up on re-entry???

That “space capsule” balloon seems not much more safe than that doomed submersible at the Titanic.

Black hole speed is just over 1 million miles per hour!

He lived with ALS for some 55 years. It was a rare, early-onset slow-progressing form of the disease. The normal/average life expectancy is 2-4 years following onset.

While that black hole is moving at over one million miles per hour, the Sun, and hence you and I, are moving around the galaxy at over 513,000 MPH, half as fast.

Motion sickness anyone?

A church wedding is fine with me, thank you. Who would risk their sweetie’s health (and possible death), let alone their own. Probably could spend a week in Paris for the same amount of moolah. Is it even possible for bathe properly in space?

A 4 day trip in a quarter of an hour, now that’s fast.
