By various detours, Branson’s space plane reminds of the “Space Ark” in George Pal’s 1951 film When Worlds Collide. The “Space Ark,” too, is a passenger carrier.

There seems to be a discrepancy in exactly WHERE Outer Space BEGINS——-50, 62 or 76 miles. Learn something new every day.
Interesting.
So Bezos is claiming at 53 miles, Branson’s was merely a high-altitude plane. Ooopppss! Maybe he’s not happy he wasn’t the first?
