  • Someone forgot to tell the reporter that going to space as a tourist doesn't make you an Astronaut. An Astronaut is a specialized job classified by having a "safety sensitive role in the mission". Buying a ticket to space does not make you one. Technically speaking the two pilots are, though. And they technically didn't go to space because they didn't pass the Karman line.

  • im not sure if they actually went to "space"... they said "zero-G experience" and "micro-gravity" for a reason, that was legally compliant. you can achieve this same thing without going to "outer space" Actually at 2:01 you hear the altitude is 289,000 ft... "outer space" meaning outside Earths atmosphere is 330,000 ft from the surface, so yeah they were not in space.

    • "im not sure if they actually went to "space"." The atmosphere becomes thinner fluently, so you cannot say where it ends. They reached 89 km. The US Air Force definition for the beginning of space is 80 km. The most used definition is 100km. Both are arbitrary, have to do with aviation, and there is still atmosphere higher than 100 km. The question if something is actually in space or not is pointless. "you can achieve this same thing without going to "outer space" " Of course, but the higher you go, the longer you can experience it. Weightlessess never has to do with "space". At the International Space Station gravity is only 13% weaker than down here. "outer space" meaning outside Earths atmosphere is 330,000 ft from the surface," As I said, also that is an arbitrary definition. At about that altitude, the necessary speed to get aerodynamic uplift becomes as high as orbital speed. You think that is a real natural definition for "end of the atmosphere"? It was mainly pushed by the World Air Sports Federation who had to define where "aviation" ends, otherwise aviation records like "hightes flight", "fastest airplane"... were pointless in the space era. The International Space Station loses more than 50 meters of altitude every day because there is still so much atmosphere at 400 km that the drag slows it down. And it is not exact 330,000 feet, it is 100 km. And it is no even that: But they rounded it to 100 km, because it is such a nice number.

  • The actual way that they carried the space craft up with a carrier, then detached it from the carrier it all looked like it went way smoother cleaner and easier than the way they usually launch space shuttles from the ground. It's not using tons of fuel, it's not burning fuel like a normal rocket 🚀 that has a huge after burn that's probably what's helping in burning a hole through the ozone and claiming it's green house gasses doing it when the after burn and fuel burn off of the bigger rockets 🚀 and the friction probably have a huge significant role in damaging the ozone. I like how smooth and how easy and the way this particular launch went in this video a whole lot less friction and a very small after burn.

    • "54 miles is NOT 'Space'." The US definition for the beginning of space is 50 miles. "It's Low Earth Orbit." And the next one... No, they are NOT in orbit. Do you even know what that means? It means that you fly around the earth so fast, that you don't fall down even without propulsion - and that only works when there is more or less no drag, so in space. - reaching space: go higher than 50 miles (or 62 miles if we take another definition), easy, as you can see here - reaching low earth orbit: go higher than 50 /62 miles PLUS accelerate sideways up to 28000 km/h - that is the big challenge and needs a huge rocket "Anything up to 1200 miles is Low Earth Orbit" Yes, but who came up with this weird idea that LEO is not space? Makes no sense. "and there's a reason we don't go any further" Oh no, the van allen belt!!! That is one of the most stupid "arguments" against the moon landings. Have you sent up a probe there by yourself to measure the radiation? No. Instead the same people who tell you, that the van Allen belt exists in the first place, also tell you, that we can fly through it. Yes, the Apollo missions flew through the Van Allen belts, yes, they went to the moon. And according to the current schedule NASA will do it again in November 2024 with the Artemis 2 mission. And when you say that we don't go beyond LEO, are you only talking about humans? Or do you think that we cannot even sends other objects? That would be weird, because that would mean that you believe in the International Space Station (which is in LEO), but not in GPS satellites (12,500 miles away from earth) or TV satellites (22,200 miles away).
