The ship, which will one day transport customers into space, reached 82.7km, above what NASA considers sufficient to award astronauts their ‘wings’
Today, the British entrepreneur announced his Virgin Galactic company had proved it “can open space to the world” after the SpaceShip Two passenger rocket has successfully travelled to the edge of space and safety returned to the Earth.
The ship, which will eventually transport customers into space, reached an altitude of 82.7km. That’s above what NASA considers sufficient to award astronauts their ‘wings’, but below the 100km Karman Line, which is widely defined as space (via BBC).
Here’s the view:
