OK, I know there's a lot of space junkies out there. I remember there's a certain altitude one has to reach to get the title of Astronaut. Did Felix Baumgarter reach that height? Is he officially an astronaut now?
No.
Have to cross the 300,000 ft mark. Thats how the X-15 pilots got their astronaut wings.
SR71 pilots did not get Astronaut wings with an air breather.
Supersonic man would work!
Only one ever! To see what he saw thru his eyes would be awesome.
