So William Shatner’s trip didn’t apply? I’m fairly sure his wasn’t the Kubrick show we just saw with six women. Perhaps that’s “sub-orbital” height.
What Shatner did was the same thing suborbital they didn’t actually go into space
No, it didn't - insofar as Shatner is not an astronaut.
He was a passenger - rating barely higher than ballast.
The term "astronaut" is defined as: Someone who has completed the requisite (rigorous) training.
Shatner was probably instructed about how to extinguish his cigarette when the warning display lit up, etc. - but did not undergo the prescribed (grueling) course of training to become an astronaut.
