Name of man who rose in a balloon 20 miles and skydived back to earth 1960's?



Answers:
What a nutcase

Joe Kittinger
Was it Major Tom?
I am guessing no one since the highest altitude ever recorded for a hot air balloon is 69,852 feet (13.23 miles) and that was in 2005.

If I had to guess, I would say James Bond.
Joseph Kittinger
it may be Kittenger your referring to but it could be Malcolm Ross as Kittenger helped him and his partner Vic Prather in 1961 to beet his record but Prather drowned when he landed in the sea. So the man you are looking for is either Joe Kettinger or Malcolm Ross.
US Air Force Col. Joe Kittinger in 1960. Reached a height of 31.4km which is about 20 miles
