Google engineer Alan Eustace rode a balloon 135,890 feet into the stratosphere and then fell back to Earth. He broke the skydiving record - and created a sonic boom - but hardly anyone noticed because Eustace didn't seek much attention for his feat, which he self-funded. I spent a couple hours with Alan talking about the engineering that went into his jump, the US military history that surrounded the project, his decades at Google building the modern internet and his thoughts on fusion and AI and mapping the ocean floor. Quite the episode! Get the Core Memory podcast wherever you pod.
