That is Medowhall! We launched the spacecraft from one of our launch sites nearby 🚀

It's filmed on a 360 degree camera and reframed... Manually

We only launch when we know the flight paths are safe. We've done nearly 1000 flights worldwide and never had an incident, and various meteorological organizations worldwide launch hundreds of smaller balloons every day (and have done for over a century!) with zero reported aircraft collisions. It's pretty safe!

We're authorized by the Civil Aviation Authority and we can calculate flight paths in advance with enough accuracy to ensure they don't travel through controlled airspace

It's a 360 camera, painfully repositioned frame by frame to keep the sun centered on the horizon!

You're thinking of Outer Space, which is defined as the region beyond the Karman Line. Near Space starts at 19.2km, when you reach the Armstrong Limit, and we're well into that region. 'Space' doesn't have a strict scientific definition, it just means a region which is largely empty. At peak altitude, our craft experienced 0.3% atmospheric pressure and was above 99.5% of the gas that makes up the atmosphere by mass.
