Cool vid Wil, For some reason I would of thought the air space would have been shut down that close to the launch pad.

Thanks AR and yeah that seems to be the focus of the discussion over @ LiveLeak.

If what Ive read over there is true then the NFZ is about 35 miles in radius, and anything within 46 miles and under 18,000 feet altitude needs a discreet transponder code and ATC clearance.

35 miles still seems kinda small to me tho....

Well flying in that plan sure lets you see there is really not much space between the earth and outspace.
