A Brave AstroPeep

I'd like to call him a Peeponaut, but that doesn't make sense linguistically. In line with the word astronaut, it would mean he sails PEEPS®. To be more exact, since he didn't actually make it to the stars, I suppose should call him a CosmoPeep. Still, AstroPeep means he's a PEEP of the stars. And that's what his crew named him. So what did this brave PEEP® do? On April 5, 2008, he manned Peeped a high-altitude balloon that went nearly 97,000 feet above the surface of the Earth. See Chicago's Adler Planetarium's slide show for more images, including photos of the selection and training of the PEEP® with the right stuff.
