The Kármán line is a conventional definition of the edge of space. It is not universally accepted. The international record-keeping body FAI defines the Kármán line at an altitude of 100 kilometres above mean sea level. While named after Theodore von Kármán, who calculated a theoretical limit of altitude for airplane flight at 83.8 km above Earth, the later established Kármán line is more general and has no distinct physical significance, in that there is a rather gradual difference between the characteristics of the atmosphere at the line, and experts disagree on defining a distinct boundary where the atmosphere ends and space begins. It lies well above the altitude reachable by conventional airplanes or high-altitude balloons, and is approximately where satellites, even on very eccentric trajectories, will decay before completing a single orbit.Wikipedia

The average speed of major league curveball pitch is 120 kph.In the 1940's, debate over whether there really was a curve in the curveball pitch was settled with the conclusion that the ball does curve; however, an optical illusion caused by the spin of the ball and the batter's perception of motion exaggerates the extent of the curve.
