I used to be, let's not say heavily involved, but eagerly observing, this community. I was lurking in #highaltitude when M0XER's B-64 crossed its launch longitude, marking a circumnavigation, and the place went _nuts_.
Then B-63, launched a few days earlier, did the same. But B-63 popped shortly thereafter, while B-64 just kept going, eventually circling 8 times over the coming 4 months. It's one thing to set a record, it's another thing to smash it so thoroughly immediately after setting it.
I want to say he was using dry-cleaning bags as envelopes early-on, but I think he switched materials to achieve that kind of durability.
