Original Note:
The claim "to the edge of space" is dubious, and the claim "flown to space" is completely false. The claimed apogee is 100,000 feet, which is 30.48 kilometers. Depending on whose definition you use, space behind at either 80 or 100 kilometers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_line https://www.flyingmag.com/modern/spaceballoon-lifts-off-for-stratospheric-test-flight-off-florida-coast
