Sir Richard Branson's private space tourism company has completed its first flight carrying the billionaire, two pilots, and three mission specialists to the fringes of space.
The VSS Unity spaceplane was launched in mid-air after dropping from the belly of its mothership at an altitude of about 9.4 miles (15km) before its rocket fired the craft and its crew into sub-orbital space at least 50 miles (80km) above the Earth.

At about 2:30 the craft reaches 180,000 feet. The Carman Line is at about 62,000M from sea level, and I believe they were still rising when the altitude level decided to just go to 0 after reaching 180,000 feet, so by 2:40 they likely reached 186,000 feet. So actually yes, they very likely did reach space.

@@grahamtaylor8912 The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI), an international standard-setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics, defines the Kármán line as the altitude of 100 kilometres (54 nautical miles; 62 miles; 330,000 feet) above Earth's mean sea level. Not all organizations recognize this definition. NASA, the US Space Force, US Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration define the boundary as 50 miles (80 km) above sea level.[3] International law does not define the edge of space, or the limit of national airspace.
