This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The lift of the balloon depends on on the temperature difference and the air inside the envelope, and the air outside, and that part would actually work.

As far as oxygen goes, you'd need to have a pressurised capsule suspended under the balloon, which has been done before.
