   Wv>AH> Virgin Galactic planned to take three Italian researchers to the edge   
   Wv>AH> of space within weeks. During its maiden flight on July 11,   
   Wv>AH> SpaceShipTwo reached a maximum altitude of 86 kilometers.   
       
   Wv> And it's debatable if that is really space. Some draw the line at 100 km,   
   Wv> but of course that is also an arbitrary limit...   
       
   My former boss at Belgacom flew on space Shuttle Atlantis STS-45 in a not too   
   high orbit just outside the atmosphere and he explained to me that while it is   
   considered "space", there still is micro-gravity and friction.
