Balloon Babies
Alex and Chris Love Balloons...Seriously - they really do...they like to flap them about and bat them with their hands and try to bite them...
One day, I'm going to try and see how many helium-filled balloons it takes to send them on the ride of their lives!

Right,I've looked into this.Using "Ian Ashpole" as a reference, I've made the following calculations!Helium density (20c)0.1663kg/m.Party balloon radius 0.1143m.V=4/3(3.14)3=4/3(3.14)(0.1143m)3=0.00625m3.Calc lift thus,(0.1663kg/m3)(0.00625m3)=0.0104kg.Taking into account twins(x2)+"DAVROS"command flight pod+'rusk' offset, approx 380 balloons are needed! (of course you are limited to only 9000m's alt, but alright for maiden voyage!) T-MINUS 5..4...3.....
Of couse you couldn't send them on their maiden voyage without a couple of bags of cotton wool balls!
