[quote name=theomega76 time=Apr 30 12 : 4:52am]250 miles is still within earths atmosphere, theoretically 62 miles (the Karman Line) is thought of as "outer space" but it's not.
The exosphere technically extends to about 120,000 miles above earth (or roughly 1/2 way to the moon)
It's at this point that the effect of solar radiation has a greater influence on hydrogen atoms than that of Earths own gravitational pill.
So no 250 miles isn't anywhere close to above earths atmosphere and eventually all that radiation and toxic chemicals would have fallen back onto earths surface[/quote]theomega76, Apr 30 12 : 4:52am250 miles is still within earths atmosphere, theoretically 62 miles (the Karman Line) is thought of as "outer space" but it's not.
