And thats just incorrect.
Similarly,Virgin Galactics Unity spaceplaneflies its passengers to a maximum altitude of 54.2 miles (87 kilometers).

The capsule is also pressurized, so its meant for passengers to be able to walk around.
Theyre doing that in actual space though, so its still pretty cool.
