An amazing feat, and I'm sure he had a great view but it is hardly the "edge of space." That's media sensationalism for you. He jumped from 128,000....the edge extends up to 328,000...he jumped from roughly 1/3rd of the way.

Man I cant wait for the day when we can go up commercially with ease. I just want to be high enough to see the black of the sky, the shape of the earth and the glow of the atmosphere.
