Bezos and Branson didn’t even go to space.

I was going to clown you but if what you say is true then yeah, they didn’t go to outer space. Satellites are in the Exosphere and not even technically in space. 70,000 feet would have only put them in the Stratosphere.

If that’s the case, that’s about 106 kilometers only putting them in the Thermosphere.

You should clown him, everything he said was incorrect. “They were just a little over 70K feet” :mjlol:

Outer space does not begin at a definite altitude above the Earth's surface. The Kármán line, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above sea level,[7][8] is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping.

“Space” isn’t rigidly defined like going from land to water

Bezos went 5x higher than a U-2

But only about 1/3 of the height of satellites

That's not the way to look at it anyway. To get into orbit to do useful stuff in space you have to go up, but you also have to move horizontallyfast enough your freefall matches the curve of the earth. Going up is a small part of the work you have to do, and he didn't get up to "working space" altitude.

It was a suborbital flight.

that rocket was way too small to get to orbit.
