what would happen if

you built a vertical tube that starts 4 feet off the ground and extends to 1 mile outside the earths atmosphere into space? The ends of the tube would be sealed and removed at the same time.

are we assuming the tube would be assembled at ground level (sealed) then erected? and after it's stood up the seals would be released?

if so...
