If you were at 50,000 feet I bet you were too busy to be looking at the stars.

It's not all work. I've also gone over mach 1.0 at 100' AGL. I've watched a tanker wave gossamer wings as we fell away on a practice emergency disconnect. etc.

Well, good stuff. That is obviously something to behold.

(The >mach 1.0 at 100' AGL -- hope that was over uninhabited land, or water. You could get a lot of broken windows doing that!)
