I am adding a link to a picture. The curvature of the earth seen from onboard British Airways Concorde G-BOAD.

This is what they have scrapped.

I am afraid it will be a long time before a passenger aircraft goes up above 60+K feet.

We miss you, Concorde. You will forever be the Queen of the Skies.
