Sci-fi short story about man exploring Jupiter's atmosphere in balloon after accident












3















In the story, the man is in a balloon, exploring the Jovian atmosphere. He's thinking about an accident in the past, where he escaped from a crashing dirigible with the help (?) of an enhanced ape or chimp.



(I think) he aborts the exploration mission, and as he's leaving his boss' office we finally see the damage from the dirigible crash ~ he's on wheels or tracks.
