    They could have, at least, reeled him inside. I mean, he is freeze dried now, yes?

    How can the corpse be hanging from that rope if they’re weightless? And yes I know the word “weightless” is not scientifically correct.

    For the balloon to be floating, they must be in the upper atmosphere not in space. Also, “weightless” doesn’t happen unless you are falling. (“In orbit” means you are falling off to one side so fast that you constantly miss hitting the planet.)[“Weightless” can also happen when you are too far from any planet to feel its gravity very much.]

    Marrying a dead guy who you were romancing is not unprecedented. Just a few weeks ago, the Utah Supreme Court ruled a woman can marry her dead boyfriend. She was granted a posthumous common law marriage, but I doubt there would be any ceremony.
