So where did the balloon go?


Pod dropped from the balloon onto its own parachute, balloon was shredded in the pod drop process and fell to earth.


The balloon itself was recovered; Felix posed  for a pic with the balloon remains stowed on a trailer and posted same to social media.

WXPN from Philly gets my vote.


Philly also has WKDU at Drexel. you can't receive that where you are, an excellent radio station


I used to listen to 'KDU at night for their punk/new wave/etc, back in the day.
