It's at an altitude of 50,000+ feet, and your chance of hitting it are slightly lower than your chance of winning the lottery within 30 seconds of being hit by lightning, while wearing your grandmother's fuzzy slippers.

@ScottSoCal LOL--I don't mean me, as a civilian. Do we not have fighter jets that can fly that high?

@rpardee 50K feet is up there - I think that's above the ceiling where a jet engine can operate. Not enough air pressure or oxygen.
