The AP reports that organizers claimed the ship crossed the official 62-mile-high border of space. Why does space officially begin 62 miles above the Earth? Because 62 miles is about 100 kilometers, and 100 is a nice round number. The creators of the prize settled on 100 kilometers because it's the figure used by the World Air Sports Federation (FAI), the organization that maintains the aeronautical record book and keeps track of achievements in flying.
Even in light years, measuring distances across the universe becomes unwieldy. But measuring in something familiar, like miles, is truly humbling. From here to the edge of our vision spans a distance of approximately 276,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles. And itâs getting bigger every day. Bottom line: How far is a light-year? Itâs the distance a beam of light travels in one year â a distance of six trillion miles. Christopher Crockett Christopher has a Ph.D. in astronomy from the University of California, Los Angeles.
