This Guy's Space Selfie Beats All Your Selfies — Ever

This guy’s selfie beats all your selfies ever. Christopher Michel isn’t a astronaut, but he got to shoot a space selfie. How did it happen? The San Francisco photographer took a once-in-a-lifetime ride in a high-altitude U-2 spy plane. (He had to wear a space suit during the flight.) While soaring over the earth at 70,000 feet, virtually on the edge of space, Michel pulled out his GoPro and snapped a few selfies. He says it was one of the best experiences of his life. Watch to see how it all went down.
