or if you've got an old iPhone stuck in your couch cushions...
I thought the definition of space was fairly well agreed on. Which means this task should be worth a bit more than 45 points -- it's only been done by two (or three*) non-governmental organizations, and once (or never*) by amateurs.
I guess you could pay someone to send it up for you, but where's the fun in that? :) (Also, I recommend caution before sending Interorbital any money: their track record on orbital launches could be politely described as nonexistant.)
* In chronological order: the amateur CSXT space shot was likely successful, but not independently confirmed, and there are significant uncertainties. This was followed by Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne, and then SpaceX's Falcon I and Falcon 9 launches.
I'd say a 45-point task means broad definitions of "space", not limited to outer, but that by the time it's a level seven or eight task you have to pass the Karman Line.
But then, I'm of the opinion that the point value of a task and its description both affect what you'd have to do.
This sort of low/high point pairing could lead to some interesting completions.
Been there. done that.
No retro praxis - may or may not be a secret rule that I am specifically not divulging however if the task is approved before June 21. I will be happy to do it again. Maybe a nice SF0 flag or something. Seems Like that might also work for the highest place but I am not going. Maybe my "character" can find a way to get there. hmmm?
Hey, what definition of space would this use? Would weather balloons make it into space? If you've got about $9k in your couch, you could use this.
