Correct. Those are aeronautical physics experiments.


They are unmanned to set records in duration and elevation.


No they are unmanned because they would have to be many times bigger to
carry the weight of a person.


No they are unmanned because they didn't want to make

If you want to be 100% anal-retentively correct, there was never any plan

enough to be able to fly with what's in them.
