Default Ride in a U2 Spy Plane
I just watched this show on BBC "James May at the Edge of Space"

Absolutely breathtaking!

They have all three parts on youtube...

Also impressive for a single engine aircraft!

I spent some time in your town: basic training at Lackland AFB and flight school at Brooks AFB.

It's amazing how everyone who goes up into space remarks about what a life changing experience it is and how much our society would change if everyone could. Shouldn't be more than a decade away, though. We might be in for some major changes in the few decades.

Good point, but by then it'll be commonplace and people will take it for granted.
