Personally Experiencing The Edge of Space

Ron Garan’s Next Adventure Will Be At The Edge of Space, SpaceRef
“The last time Ron Garan saw the curvature of the Earth and the blackness of space was from his vantage point aboard the International Space Station. The next time he will see this sight will be from inside the capsule of World Views’ high altitude balloon at the edge of space. Unlike both of his trips to and from space he will be in command of the capsule which will land under a large, steerable parawing. He’ll be doing the steering. And when he does he’ll be the first person to ever pilot such a flight.”

    I wonder how cool the universe would look at 100,000 feet in shadow instead of during daylight?
