WELL DONE INDEED!! And, about bloody time. We have been promised commercial space travel since the ‘60’s and the Governments of the world barely even have space programs anymore. I’m glad to see all of these teams take the initiative to renew our push to the stars. Best wishes and Godspeed to all involved.

It is my understanding that the 62-mile (100 km) height is the height of the first Mercury capsule flights.
