What Actually Qualifies as Space? đ w/ Neil deGrasse TysonAjoutĂ© :
Here's one that always gets me. We hadn't left low Earth orbit in 50 years.
And you know what we're low Earth orbit is? Take Earth, shrink it to a school room globe, okay? Ask yourself, Bezos, Branson, billionaire boys, how high up above the globe do they go? The thickness of two dimes is how high up they go, and we call them astronauts.
The space station orbits less than a half an inch above the surface of the school room globe. We had not gone farther away from Earth than that half an inch in 58 years, and you want to believe that we're going to go somewhere else and meet an alien? No, they're coming here.
