Reply to comment by kdiuro13 in ESA's Vega-C launcher has suffered a failure in its first commercial flight by kdiuro13

At least they made it to space, although I don't think the satellites were supposed to end up at the bottom of the ocean.

The Karmen Line, which is what I was going off of, is arbitrary with some aerodynamic calculations to back it up, it’s much easier to to define what an orbit is rather than where space begins.
