Sterns aims to go boldly where no human has ever gone before in a balloon: 40
kilometers up into the atmosphere. (46) No one has ever leapt
from such a height or gone supersonicl without an airplane or a spacecraft. Yet
Sterns, an airline pilot, is not the only person who wants to be the first to
accomplish those feats. Two other brave people, an Australian man and a
Frenchman, are also planning to make similar leaps.
(47) First, she’ll climb into a cabin hanging from a balloon the
size of a football field2. Then balloon will take her high into the
stratosphere—the layer of Earth’s atmosphere 12 to 50 kilometers above the
planet. “The ascent will take two and a half to three hours,” said Sterns. “I’ll
be wearing a fully pressurized, temperature-controlled space suit.”
At 40 kilometers, Sterns will be able to see the gentle curve of Earth and
the blackness of space over head. Then she’ll unclip herself from the cabin and
dive headfirst, like a bullet, into the atmosphere. (48)
For high dive, astronaut escape suits are a key to
success. Current pilot and astronaut escape suite are guaranteed only a maximum
altitude of 21 kilometers. Del Rosso, a NASA engineer of spacesuits and
life-support systems, said the suit designed for Stern’s jump could serve as a
model for the lethal environment of higher climbs. (49) The
first hazard is oxygen-deficient air. Any person without an additional oxygen
supply at 40 kilometers would die within three to five seconds. The second
hazard is low atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is much lower at high
altitudes than it is at sea level. The low atmospheric pressure of the upper
stratosphere causes the gases in body fluids to fizz out of solution like soda
bubbles. (50) Other hazards include temperatures as low as —
55 degrees Celsius, flying debris, and solar radiation. For
Sterns to survive, her spacesuit will have to protect her from all of these
hazards. “A spacesuit is like a one-person spaceship,” Del Rosso explained. “You
have to take everything you need in a package that’s light enough, mobile
enough, and tough enough to do the job. You can’t exist without it.”
A. It will handle several major hazards. B. Escape suits
are tough enough to stand the atmospheric pressure of the upper
stratosphere. C. From there, she’ll take a death-defying leap
back to Earth at supersonic speed. D. “In 30 seconds, I’ll be
going Mach (马赫) speed,” said Sterns. E. How will Sterns make her
giant jump F. In short, blood boils.
