Greater heights ? He was clearly in outa space my take on that scene they built a tower from earth all the way to space . However I should just rewatch it I prob wasn’t paying attention. Lol thx for the reply
share Felix Baumgartner. He jumped from 128,000 feet (39,000 meters), or about 24 miles up, during the Red Bull Stratos mission. Probably the inspiration for the scene in the movie.

That part was actually realistic.
The reason that orbiting spacecraft or one's returning from the Moon turn into fireballs is because they are traveling tens of thousands of miles per hour. The kinetic energy from their speed gets turned into heat as they use the atmosphere as a brake.
The space antennae was standing still relative to the ground, so one could just drop down.
Now, if you want to argue that a vertical antennae many miles high was being used instead of arrayed fish antennae, go at it.
