What part of "atmosphere up to 150km" makes 100km space? At 100km it is dark and cold but there is atmosphere. That's not "space" in my book.

- msl 12y agoThe International Space Station, orbiting at around 420km is dragged down by atmosphere[1], so I'm going to call that 150km limit an arbitrary one. Also, the Wikipedia article on the subject[2] doesn't appear to consider it worthy of even mentioning. You are, of course, entitled to define "space" however you want in your own book, but be adviced that a lot of people will disagree with your definition.
