The resolution criteria clearly specify what counts as going to space, adopting the standard United States threshold of 50 miles above mean sea level rather than the international Karman line. The rule also explicitly requires Donald Trump to be physically aboard the craft. Resolution relies on a consensus of credible reporting rather than a single named agency or flight telemetry registry, but given the high public profile of such an event, determining whether it occurred is unlikely to cause disputes.
