I wasn't trying really hard, this is just a proof of concept. One can certainly fly even 10-20k higher if carefull..

Me 163 at 116.2 kft asl:

Using wind to lift yourself is cheating.

Even with 0 burn, the 163 rocket burns out at about 60k. I think I pushed it to 63/65k once (I've got some screenshots), but cheating doesn't count

Krusty I've made it to 73k in 163 no cheating....

this was done on MA without even looking at the wind direction, etc

starting alt was 8k

I will repeat it at some stage and maybe even post whole movie.

Yeah, starting at 10k doesn't help

I started at sea level with my tests way back
