Russian plane offers flights into stratosphere

A two-minute video describes the Russian fighter plane MiG-29 Fulcrum that offers civilians an 'Edge of Space' flight into the stratosphere. The video further explains how the curvature of the Earth is clearly visible from the high altitude, as the plane ascends at 330m/s. A 50-minute ride in the military jet, which flies at a supersonic speed, costs around $18,500.
