Astonishing view

Time to pollute the Earth more. It still looks too clean and habitable.

Astonishing view indeed and a heck of a experience too if you ever get a chance.

I agree, that view was amazing. The only other Aircraft that can get higher is the SR-71 Blackbird at 80,000 feet.

I will admit, Clam Chowder from a tube just did not sound like something I would ever want to try. Especially in a closed environmental suit
