»Escape Vehicle no.6« shows the launching of a weather balloon with a domestic chair dangling in space beneath it, making a journey from the ground to the edge of space (30km up). The footage shows the chair first rush away from the fields and roads, ascend through clouds and finally (against the curvature of the earth and the blackness of space) begin to disintegrate.
