I hope they check the space weather forecast this time.
Apropos of nothing:
Showing the views from a FlipHD and a GoPro side by side you get a first hand view of what it is like to fly to 121,000 feet. These cameras flew on September 30, 2011 at 11:08am on Derek Deville's Qu8k (pronounced "Quake") launched from the Black Rock Desert in Nevada before returning safely to earth.
A plastic cover that was protecting the protruding portion of the GoPro began to melt due to aerodynamic heating and can be seen as streaks passing by the lens. A small bit of this molten plastic re-solidifies over a portion of the lens.
Being above 99% of the atmosphere, the sky turns black in the middle of the day and the curvature of the earth is clearly visible. The rocket motor produced 4,000 lbs of thrust for 8 seconds accelerating the vehicle to over Mach 3.Amateur Rocket Launch to 121,000' at Mach 3 On-board Video

Or don’t launch them to be temporarily initially residing in such low orbit. That was showing that Elon Musk was a more responsible (by minimizing junk in orbit) space faring entity than all the space faring nations. But it turned out to be financially painful for him.
