There's a discussion going at Talk:Boundary_to_space#The_U.S._definition that's partly Gagarin's parachuting out of the capsule for landing.Ropers 19:56, 26 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] facts

is is stated on http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19630043160_1963043160.pdf that the perigee was 188 km, and the agogee was 302 km. this is not the same as in the article. --80.63.213.182 14:11, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Altitude or attitude?
