     That was cool, seeing it hover against that blue ring of atmosphere, or stratosphere, whichever layer that is….

       looks well beyond the exosphere to me ( that’s the outermost layer of our tiny planet’s atmosphere at an altitude of about 50 miles ) I’m down here on the surface dreaming about my first interstellar voyage and Rafa’s racquet is already up there doing
       spacewalks :D

         Oopsie , my bad . I didn’t see the footage at first , looking at the picture I thought it was hanging by a satellite . Turns out they used a hydrogen balloon , this thing went about 20 miles before the bubble exploded . That was somewhere between the tropopause and the stratopause . Sorry for the misinformation :)
