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.
At higher altitudes, space is defined by the performance of the machines that take us there. 50 miles is the arbitrary altitude at which the US Air Force awards astronaut wings. These were given to pilots of the X-15 rocket plane in the '60s. 62 miles is the altitude identified by Hungarian aeronautics legend Theodore von Karman, above which wings would be practically ineffective.
