OK, you win the Internet! Mr. Kalashnikov might have liked it too.
Dangerous or not dangerous, 10 years of life spent in prison is a lot. Let's see what happens next.

Well, turns out there is Federal Helium reserve: http://www.blm.gov/nm/st/en/prog/energy/helium/federal_heliu...
I think I'd prefer MiG-29 ride: http://www.skyandspacetravel.com/included_sky.html Not as high, but much cheaper, sky is already pretty black and you get a chance to control the damn thing.
I am so tired of people suggesting that balloons "go to space". Yes, Felix Baumgartner set a new record and his jump was a great accomplishment. But it was not a "space jump".
With future technology, perpetuum mobile may become possible. Or maybe not. Electric cars still may be a good idea in a long run. Even if they can not generate their own energy.

No, this is not true. It is probably a bad law, but "anything that publicly references gays" is not a crime. The law only establishes a fine (not prison term) for promoting homosexuality as a norm for children under 16.…

Yes, but the weather was clear. No need for ILS in such weather.
