  1. Hope he takes off safe because this is the most dangerous part – the traditional take off is practically a suicidal mission. You're seating on a pile of metal & trying to light a cigarette next to oxygen acetylene tanks & nitrogen bombs. Mortal danger. When are they gonna find a safer way to take off? It's far too risky for the benefit. NASA lost billions of dollars & irreplaceable human astronauts that way for little scientific benefit that they don't bother returning to the moon. So far what can you do in near space other than placing satelites & repairs? Not much.
