Since when does a suborbital trip qualify as space flight?

Sounds like one helluva ride! How much for a ticket and where's the end of the line?

So would whoever flies this get astronaut wings? I suppose not, but that brings on a more general question as civilian space travel opens up: who exactly is an "astronaut"? Will flying for NASA make you an astronaut and Rosaviakosmos a cosmonaut and if you fly privately are you just a space traveler?
I think the term astronaut should probably be reserved for the specific government job, but I believe they've given shuttleworth and tito astronaut wings, so its already becoming a question.

Well, tomorrow is the big day. Is any cable station going to cover this live? I'm sure most of the news outlets will cut to the launch and recovery, but is anyone planning on being on scene live for the entire duration of the flight?
