Which is more efficient way to generate electricity - solar thermal plants or photovoltaic plants?
I cant answer this question fully. However I do know that mass produced PV panels generally reach around 12-16% efficiency. It is possible to reach far higher efficiencies but not on a mass produced basis, so high efficiency PV cells only tend to make it onto special projects such as space flights, record breaking solar powered vehicles etc etc. Solar thermal panel efficiencies can hit over 90%, but it is a question then of how much energy is lost from the point of generation to where it is distributed. A solar thermal plant works in an entirely different way to a domestic panel system, so this is not strictly relevant to your question!

What is the world record for keeping an inflated balloon in the air?
The highest human altitude in a balloon was 113,740 feet (34.67 km). Malcolm_Ross and Victor A. Prather reach this altitude on May 4, 1961. This record is unbeaten until October 14, 2012 when Felix Baumgartner jumped from about 120'000 feet
