I can’t tell you exactly where the images were taken. They were not geolocated at the time that they were taken.

But the snow photo was probably taken somewhere between Aspen and Leadville, CO.

As you correctly guessed: a) you can see the pilot’s gloves in one frame and b) a rear-view mirror in another.

For a detailed description of the pressure suit, see this link:

What fantastic images! Thank you so much for sharing those; it’s a sight most of us will never see. ;D

Apparently, you still don´t need to be an Astronaut to go into outer space. The pictures show you can still fly there and back, a la Chuck Yeager.

65,000 feet is amazing and thanks for sharing! I thought MABEL was a rear view mirror which would be kinda funny. The curvature of the earth is amazing and I thank you for posting these, as from my view at the beach in San Francisco I don’t get that view! Thanks!

So amazing, I want to know every detail of the story with in the pictures !

Could you guys caption the pics, and include information? For example, geotag locations and features. And explain what parts of the craft we are seeing in the pic at times? ( Like is that a rearview mirror in the third shot?)

Maybe describe a bit about the pressure suit in the first shot. And is that a reflection of his gloved hands holding the camera at an upwards angle that is reflected in the helmet?

Basically, images are a big YES!, but help us see more of what we are seeing. Squeeze all the sweet juice of the story out the implied subtext of the story from the pictures and put a straw in it so we can suck it up. #drooling!

You’re on your way to a true transmedia gem here.

Thanks guys, for being there and being you!
