I Maj. David G. Simons, back from a balloon flight to a region where the stars don't twinkle at night and the day time sky is purple-black, today slept off his vigil with outer space. Simons, a nervy Pennsylvanian with a yen for the unknown brought his huge plastic bag to earth in a (lax field on the bor der between North and South Da kota yesterday after an unpre cedented, 32-hour flight to the top of the atmosphere. Simons, a 34-year-old father of four, ascended to altitudes over 100.000 feet - 19 miles. Upon landing, Simons cut loose the gondola and the balloon bil lowed up again to an altitude of about 1,500 feet. It landed three miles to the west, where souvenir hunters later tore it to pieces. Radar trackers estimated the balloon carried Simons to a rec ordbreaking 102,000-foot level. If confirmed by later calibiation of instruments in the balloon, this would be 6.000 feet higher than Capt. Joseph Kittinger rose in June while testing equipment Sim ons used. Next step in the Air Force's projected conquest of space will be a four-or five-man balloon trip to similar altitudes in a large gon dola. Simons' boss Col. John P. Stapp, of rocket sled fame, said he would present the idea to the Air Force soon. Stapp said Simons' flight Droved it is safe for man to llv to outer space.

Awesome, he said, was the view of lightning flashing through thunderheads thousands of feet below him.
