    Simply amazing. Seeing God’s creation from that high up would indeed be humbling. Insane views there.

    Rick, do you know what kind of aircraft they were flying? I didn’t even know an aircraft like that could go that high.

    Those guys were funny too. And it was interesting how the one guy mentioned that the definition/altitude of space has changed over time.

    Thanks for sharing Rick! Be sure to let us know when you’ll be taking the big trip. šŸ™‚
