Right and not 60 miles an hour. For that gondola to stay even with where it took off it would have had to accelerate because it was further away the higher it goes, the faster it must go to stay even.
Angular momentum. Same with satellites and other geo-stationary orbits

Let me explain something to you. Maybe even you can understand. It supposedly takes longer for the earth to rotate around the sun because it is a longer distance than it does for the moon to revolve around the earth do you understand that? When the balloon gets to 120000 feet it has a larger orbit than if it were close to earth, therefore it would have to be moving faster to stay above where where it took off from. Can you understand what I have been trying to tell you yet? Yet the gondola landed 12 miles to the east the opposite direction where it should have.
