Simulation of the space plane during the launch. You can see on top of it the upper rocket stage whose function is to bring the launched cargo to the final orbit around the earth, while the plane itself does not enter the orbit but returns to the ground and landed on a landing strip.

Google's vice president for search, Alan Eustace broke the record for falling from the stratosphere, set only two years ago in the well-publicized operation of the Austrian Felix Baumgartner. This time the preparations for the event were kept secret. It took off to an altitude of 42 km from the abandoned Roswell Air Force Base, New Mexico, where the first record was set in 1960 by Colonel Joseph Kittinger of the US Air Force.
