ON THE WEB: WHERE DOES SPACE BEGIN?
by Hazed
With various companies set to offer space tourists trips to the edge of space, the question needs to be answered: where exactly does space begin? How far up do you have to go before you have left the sky and truly become a space traveller?
You’d think it would be something easy to determine, but it turns out not to be that simple. There is still no official definition, with various bodies claiming different measurements as the distance you have to go to be in space.
