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.
That the moon, on average, is 238,855 miles away â¦ this isnât too hard to fathom. But when we start inching our way out into the solar system, it starts to get a bit profound. Take Pluto. NASAâs New Horizons spacecraft is set to swoop by Pluto this month, which is (on average) 39 Astronomical Units (AU) away. An AU is the distance by which astronomers measure distances; itâs based on the distance between the Earth and our big star, about 93 million miles. Which puts Pluto at a distance of 3.7 billion miles away. Honestly, even a billion is hard to get oneâs mind around.
