- ck2 16y agoAgain, 62 miles is a made-up POLITICAL standard. "Space" has been measured to start at 73 or 76 miles depending on which science experiment you want to accept. So are people taking this flight because it's the wonder of science or for bragging rights? Because if it's for the wonder of science, well science says you aren't in space. (and really, if there is even doubt that the height you are going to is actually "space" then what the hell is this nonsense about? Let me know when you can do at least one orbit of the planet and then I'll say you did something extra special for spending all that money)
