    I mean 30,000 feet is 9km. The Kármán line is 100km. The ISS is at an average altitude of 400km.

    It’s a bit like saying people in planes don’t count as flying because then people on trampolines should count.

      Are you saying that people jumping ARE on earth? Because I disagree.

      Also people who live in a basement, or cave, or underground complex of some kind, or who are currently caving, … they also aren’t ‘on’ Earth, they’re ‘in the Earth’, … and people currently in submersibles, under the water line, well they’re not on the surface, they’re in or under the ocean or w/e, by this grammatical level of pedantry.
