Stratosphere does not equal space.
Nice try geeks. Only 80km to go!

I just looked it up and high altitude balloons can sometimes get as high as 36km though more typically pop at about 30km. The Kármán line is 100km, so I think it's probably more like 70km short.
Apparently the BU60-1 balloon made it to 53km. It was specially made by a team trying to set new records; not your typical off the shelf weather balloon.

So I was 10km off. That's practically IN SPACE.

You are still talking about 0.005 atm at that altitude. There's not a lot of air that high. Technically it's not space but only a handful of special aircraft that aren't rocket powered can fly that high. Balloons do get that high but then they pop, which isn't exactly optimal.
Of course, getting anywhere near the Kármán line still requires rockets so far. Maybe we'll see if this EM drive is anything other than the bullshit that it seems to be.
