There's space, and then there's kinda-space. We're sick of people not knowing the difference.
Space tourism has unlocked a new brand of luxury travel, one which promises expensive meals and designer flight suits with views of Earth’s curvature as a backdrop. A Florida-based startup is offering six passengers the chance to ride on board its balloon-propelled capsule while chowing down on what it claims to be the first Michelin-starred meal in space. And, honestly, we hate to be that guy, but Space Perspective’s capsule will not reach space.
For context, passenger jets typically ascend to heights of 7.9 miles above Earth’s surface. Working from this definition of where “not space” ends, satellites can be positioned over different countries and it is not considered a threat, so long as it’s above that boundary of airspace. Space Perspective does make the distinction in the fine print, recognizing that its Spaceship Neptune only reaches the edge of space.
