There's actually not a long-standing agreement about where space begins , because the atmosphere is tenuous and continues to dissipate with altitude... However , when one is in the neighborhood of 100,000 feet , and the air is only 1% the density of air at sea level , more than 99% of the atmosphere is BELOW you... So , it's pretty cold outside , and pretty impossible to have any period of useful consciousness...and one's blood would boil due to gases coming out of solution... So , for all practical intents , a 'space' environment , despite not being quite a 'hard vacuum' . Close enough for gummint work...

Only X15 pilots qualified, so far as the public knows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut X15 space photos are still classified www.nasa.gov/topics/history/features/X-15_success.html
