This is dumb as shit. Hot air balloons only go so high, less than 70k feet according to records. They only stay aloft if the heat is continually applied, if not, air cools and they sink. They move with the air, and the air moves with the planet.

This doesn’t work for the same reason jumping in an airplane doesn’t slam you into the back wall.
