The edge of space

Here's a great clip of British reporter James May taking a ride in a U2 spy plane up to the extreme altitude of 70,000FT.

Simply amazing, is what comes to mind when thinking about the physics involved with this plane each time it does this. My father worked on the U2 as a mechanic back in the 70's. Great man.
