    It’s basically always been over 100km after some of the early test flights. It was explicitly a stated goal to cross the karman line as “making it to space.”

    I think you’re thinking of when this same thing played out in the first manned flight. At the time some of the “better” arguments said the karman line is arbitrary and some other height was better. Or time in space. Or training. Or ability to control the ship. Or…

    In the end, she’s been to space and these comments just seem petty to me.
