What? 61 miles?
Never reached space.
Untrue. The international convention for the line between atmosphere and space is the "Von Karman Line" at 100 km altitude. That is where aerodynamic lift forces are equal to orbital centrifugal forces at the same velocity. Pilots of the X-15 earned astronaut status for their high-altitude flights. Yuri Gagarin was only a passenger.
So that means ~62 miles is where space begins and therefore, they did not reach space.
Oh, they got there. All you need to do is get over the wire. It is all a very gradual matter. Satellites will orbit at 100 km altitude, but not for long. Bezos would not go to the trouble of developing a system that could not satisfy international standards of where "space" begins.
Will see. LOL
Stunned me too.
