First commercial flight into space, today
(Sort of. Debatable, etc...)
BBC story here.
Virgin Galactic, two paying customers went up to 82.7km. That's "space" according to the US gov (over 80km); enough to award them astronaut wings, but not quite the generally accepted Kármán line of 100km.
Here is more info (video) by Scott Manley.

I much preferred it when this site had pictures of Branson being pissed on

Actually, seriously, are you ok? I would not want to contribute to your problems if you're having a difficult time.

Well, if there are biscuits, she’ll be okay.
If there are too many biscuits, she’s fucked.

For a start it only got to 51 miles and space starts at 62
Sure you get a badge but you have not yet been to space.
Also SpaceX.

The rocket carried two pilots and a mannequin named Annie as a stand-in passenger, as well as four research experiments for NASA.

Just because the universe is infinite, it doesn't mean your space related links have to be. Now delete this comment you tedious fucking cunt.

I had an artist mate I met in Canada. He was a car dealer from Auckland but reinvented himself as a painter with a Maori name
Anyway, he achieved some minor fame making these giant triangle pictures with spacey abstract designs. He told me about 10 years ago that he'd made a deal with Branson to take his canvases up when he started his commercial space flights. Presumably they were going to be worth more having been in "space". I might give him a bell to find out if the beardy billionaire followed through
