The "Boundary" section lists that the United States recognizes anyone who has traveled above an altitude of 50 miles as an astronaut. In light of the FAA first changing these requirements, then abolishing the commercial astronaut space wings program, should this be removed and/or edited?

Order of chapters
I propose to move the following chapters into the following order, starting with the unchanged chapter "Environment": "Regions" "Earth orbit" "Boundary" "Legal status" ...next as before Nsae Comp (talk) 21:20, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
- Sounds good to me. Attic Salt (talk) 21:49, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
I think the section on human health should be moved down, possibly after the exploration section. Attic Salt (talk) 01:37, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
- I was a little skeptical, but I think now that's a reasonable change. Praemonitus (talk) 14:00, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Please add after "The baseline temperature of outer space, as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvins (−270.45 °C; −454.81 °F).[1]" There is no evidence to support state before or cause of the bang. How is order a result of what should be disorder? Sufficient evidence has been presented in support of creation from nothing (ex-nihilo). Ross, H. (2014).

More space smell
May be too trivial and/or connected to marketing, but there is a NASA connection: "Astronauts describe the smell as a mix of gunpowder, seared steak, raspberries and rum." Mapsax (talk) 21:09, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
- One wonders if it isn't a similar experience to the ringing in the ears one can get when standing in an utterly silent environment. Just something the brain makes up to fill in the sensory void. Praemonitus (talk) 03:48, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

Duplicate content
Thank you 118.211.160.190 for helping to improve this article. I believe the content that you wanted to add is already covered in the last sentence of the lead: Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.

FAA change to astronaut designation
The "Boundary" section lists that the United States recognizes anyone who has traveled above an altitude of 50 miles as an astronaut. In light of the FAA first changing these requirements, then abolishing the commercial astronaut space wings program, should this be removed and/or edited?
