....That's a lot of Kangaroos. I did not realize how many Kangaroos there were.

Now what're the chances a less-educated construction laborer who self studies astrodynamics and holds a PPL gets to go... anywhere, really?

Reply to comment by Aerostudents in Where does space really begin? Chinese spy balloon highlights legal fuzziness of ‘near space’ by HarpuasGhost
You're not wrong but you can clearly see what the comment was saying; I can't find many (any) satellites that are continuously operating at or below 100km, whereas I can for those above.
I'll add the word "significant" to further clarify this

It's the defined transition, you'd be arguing with the wrong guy on that.
I maybe should've said "up to 100km isn't space" but that's not an argument I thought I'd have had to have, tbh.

18 km out of... 100km. The kármán line isn't even in space, in that you still encounter significant drag and orbit degradation.
Shit man, if 18% is "near" I've got a nearly mint car I can sell.
EDIT: added a word for ease of interpretation

Just use Zulu. It's not like the rotation of the moon is rapid enough to necessitate a "day"; not unless you wanna have six sleeps before noon.

Well yeah, given it never had a live human occupant to kill so naturally it'd be safer.

Perfect, I'm notoriously bad at getting my shit together.
All I do is chip and pour anyway. I'd rather do it in Hawaii, honestly.
