He jumped from about 128,000ft / 39,000 m. While an extreme altitude, it is very much inside the stratosphere. The prevailing accepted boundary of space is the Karman line which starts at 328,000 ft / 100,000 m and is much, much higher.

    In WWII it's generally agreed that the NAZIs had better, more sophisticated weapons. The US and Soviets just built more which ended up being a winning strategy.

    That's a common myth. Like any other nation, Germany had a couple things they did better and things they were worse at. They never had broad technological supremacy at any point in the war.

    I finally got around to installing a left justified, 3D printed palm rest for the touchpad.

    My printer isn't big enough so I paid a local service and it came out great. I chose black PLA with a textured look and feel. It took about 10 minutes to swap and install. On first boot, the touchpad didn't work but after taking it apart and trying again, no problems.
