Imagine that.

This picture was taken from 22 miles up, space is generally considered to start at 62 miles up. Maybe heard of the Kármán line?

Would it cost NASA millions to take pictures from 22 miles up? Absolutely not, its a bit unfair to compare a picture from 200 miles up to 22 miles up. Its a bit dishonest. Tell you what, find a cheap way to take a picture from 200 miles up and we can compare the two and you can hard knock NASA all you want.
