from 0-65,000ft in 9 minutes

Not bad for a plane first flown in 1964 - Regardless of it being Russian.

not that great?

you're not gonna get to the edge of space (our atmosphere), as the air would be so thin the engine's on the mig would not work. So you'll never feel weightless or experience what you would if you were a space craft looking down.

What Branson and co are trying to do is a far better 'space' flight, actually being in space.

I think they got into the Stratosphere, and again, technology developed in 1950's that didnt have space travel in mind.

Anyway, the MiGs have been my favourite aircraft since MiG29 Superfulcrum came out for the Atari STE
