Of course we have taxed ourselves to prosperity.

If you guys had your way during the 20th century, america would have the stature of Canada - not that Canada isn't a nice place. Our military, our space program, our infrastructure, our technological advantage took taxes.

Now you shortsighted fools want to end that. Well, living in Beijing, I see every day how they are throwing money into all the above categories and getting results. Then, 10-15 years from now, you guys will be lamenting how and why US has seen better days.

The phone/balloon are held aloft by the atmosphere. The shuttle is doing orbital velocity and re-entering the atmosphere. The shutle's moving a lot further and faster. It's like the difference in energy between skipping a stone across a pond, or placing the stone gently on the surface of the water (actually a couple inches down in the water), and letting go.

So my major thought just now was the atmosphere..
although I will go and learn for myself, right now I wonder why they did not need head shields or anything like that.
Just where oh where does the atmosphere begin exactly/end exactly, Why does a space craft from NASA need some ceramic plating while this lil doodad needed naught but shaved expanding foam.
on a side note, I think it would of made the video better if in every frame that is shown whilst someone was in frame, they would of held a hot dog in a bun.
eta- "The atmosphere has a mass of about 5 × 1018 kg, three quarters of which is within about 11 km (6.8 mi; 36,000 ft) of the surface. The atmosphere becomes thinner and thinner with increasing altitude, with no definite boundary between the atmosphere and outer space. An altitude of 120 km (75 mi) is where atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of spacecraft. -wiki "

The big difference is that the space shuttle has to travel really really fast (more than 17000 mph) "sideways" to stay in orbit while a balloon goes almost straight up. When coming back down a balloon-doodad can just fall straight down with a little parachute because it never reaches any significant speed.
A space shuttle has to slow down a lot and they do that by diving into the atmosphere belly-first, compressing the air in front of it. This heats up the air and slows down the shuttle.

I was just doing my homework to confirm that and I see chic already did.
