Altitude telemetry would be nice on the climb video.

The Lockheed A-12 had a service ceiling of 95, 000 ft. On November 20, 1965 an A-12 Blackbird exceeded Mach 3.2 and a sustained altitude of 90, 000 feet. So your glider is pretty awesome, but not the first aircraft to 90, 000 ft. The X-15 went to 350, 000+ (all the way to space and back). The glider record is currently 50, 720ft, so 90, 000 is a massive stretch. 51, 000 ft would be a record...

My question is: why do not they use a retractable landing system instead of those ugly bumps that seem to hinder the aerodynamics of the glider and disfigure it by interrupting the fuselage lines?

Won't the glider be going past the sound barrier? If not won't it be Is it capable of super sonic flight at that altitude? It sure doesn't look like it. If all is good in that respect, I wish the best of luck to you. Oh one more thing, bring a pressure suit with you incase of cabin depressureization. I would not be cought dead without one above 60, 0000 feet. Anyway, have fun with it!
