    The footage is amazing and crystal-clear. The Earth looks so peaceful and calm from that distance.

    Experiment #2:
    1. Find the camera
    2. Film yourself laughing and saying immature things such as:"Sike!" or "What a noob!" with said camera
    3. Take memory card
    4. Mail cardless camera back to original owners
    5. Wait a week
    6. Mail memory card back to original owners.
    7. Laugh and laugh

    I've seen a few of these now and each one seems to get a little better. I wonder how high you could get one with off the shelf tech.

    Did anyone here ever fly on the Concorde?

    I did once back in 2000 and the view from the airplane looked similar to the video (not the same altitude I think). It was very breathtaking to almost be in outer space.

    Here's some pics (not mine):

    I did not know Concords can fly to such altitudes. That's pretty awesome. I'll surely want to try that in the future, have to save up first I guess.

    However I know of a couple who has:
