Jack White’s label played a vinyl record at 94,000 feet
The biggest challenge may have been protecting the record itself. The stratosphere’s very low air levels were certain to reduce the vinyl’s insulation from extreme heat — Carrico had to use both gold plating (a bit like Voyager 1’s golden record) and a heat sink-like platter to keep the record distortion-free. He also need a flight computer that would stop playing the record when things got rough, in much the...

The irradiated rodents were disproportionately likely to suffer heart problems as they aged, just on a much shorter time...
