Filed to:alan shepard The billionaire Richard Branson went 87 km into the sky on Sunday, short of the Kármán line, which is 100 km above sea level and where it is generally agreed that space begins. Branson did surpass 80 km above sea level, above which NASA gives out astronaut wings. But come on, man, Branson’s stunt only barely cleared that. There is, officially, no American government definition for when space begins, apparently in large part because the government does not want to define it, because it could possibly change with technological developments. But let’s accept the 80 km rule for argument’s sake, anyway, and say that Branson was indeed in space, where he spent about a minute-and-a-half before falling back to earth, which is the functional equivalent of having a layover at JFK and then claiming you’ve been to New York City. That might technically be true but simultaneously be complete hogwash.
