Hi All
   Interesting that Felix Baumgartner (the jumper) is using 180,000 Cu.Ft. of the stuff to get his 335'dia. x 424'high balloon to altitude for a supersonic plunge back to earth. What happens to the balloon/helium? How do they get it back down?
   Wonder if Macys Thanksgiving parade will go without helium? Understand they have quite a suply somewhere?
   Still out little tank is in Hanger 1 at Lakehurst.
