i was just thinking about posting this question...

well, we oughta change this. cause 100k' is only a little less than 19 mi. i dont remember shuttles orbiting earth at 19 miles

5280 x 19 = 100320

DrumLiner, where'd you get 5280?

Also, Microsoft didn't "model" anything above 100K because they didn't have any plans for planes to go above 100K. I bet there would be a null zone or something of the sort, and that isn't good.

Number of feet in a mile I suppose.

But it would be fun, an AI space station, with landing pad, so that you could fly up and dock it with a Space Shuttle.

Or trying to reach it with an aircraft, up and down, trying to reach enough speed....
