X-15 Flight 3-65-97, also known as X-15 Flight 191, was a sub-orbital spaceflight of the North American X-15 experimental spaceplane, carrying seven experiments to a peak altitude of 266,000 feet, above NASA's definition of the start of space at 50 miles (80 km) but below the Kármán line definition at 100 kilometres (62 mi). The flight, on November 15, 1967, ended when the aircraft broke apart minutes after launch due to technical difficulties, killing the pilot Michael J. Adams and destroying the aircraft.
