This is a normal post I can never get vimeo stuff to play without being all stuttery, but from what I could see, that is beautiful.
although I wonder if it's partly clever effects. I mean, you can see the curvature of the earth in some parts yet they're not wearing pressure suits/oxygen masks.

This is a normal post and it reminds me of this:

which has footage of Joe Kittinger's Project Excelsior skydive from 1960 which still holds the skydiving altitiude record

Those must be "normal" (?) launches from abt 4.000 feet.
The surreal effect is given by a strong lens distortion and by the video being slowed down.

at 0:10, for example, you see the trousers waving in the wind. In real life, they shake as hell.

And no plane would be able to take the so high :-)

Very nice shots, anyway!
