A hot air balloon moves up 200 feet during its first minute of flight. Then it will continue to rise each minute thereafter for a distance of 80% of the distance traveled the previous minute. If you ignore air pressure, will the balloon fly out into space (in other words, will it rise indefinitely)? Explain why or why not.
