"A giant NASA science balloon is inflated at the launch site near Alice Springs, Australia. It broke free from its mooring and dragged across the desert, overturning a car and narrowly missing bystanders, smashing its multi-million dollar payload. The balloon, the size of a football field when inflated was designed to float up to 40 kilometres (25 miles), deep in the stratosphere to measure X-rays and gamma rays sent out by various stars and galaxies."
