The rapid pace in the advancement of balloon technology now includes inflatable space structures erected outside our atmosphere, like the ECHO satellites. Numerous achievements are covered, from Archimedes, the discoverer of the buoyancy principle, or the great balloon pioneers, to Joe Kittinger's solo balloon flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
