Default New FAA Commercial Astronaut certificate?

And if you don't land on another planet, does it count as cross-space time?

So if you fly to the International Space Station and stay for more than
90 days, does that mean you can't fly home with passengers onboard?

It is a commercial certificate. Only that portion of the flight above
100 km may be counted as space flight time. Any portion of the flight
below 100 km is logged as IFR flight time.

Do you need three take-offs and landings to a full stop

What are the required maneuvers for the one-hour of flight to fullfil a
BFR?


Setting a stable orbit
Changes of orbital inclination
Docking and undocking procedures
Gravitational slingshots
Atmospheric braking

Additionally, you must make three docking and undocking manoevres to a
full stop every 90 days to be current to carry passengers.


What about emergency procedures?

What about wormholes? Run into a wormhole, return before you left. How
do you justify X number of hours of flight time when the tach runs
backwards?

You have to undock and redock three times first. If you're in shadow,
you have to do it in shadow.


In that case, each has to be to a full stop.


Relative to what? ;-)

Only if the Space Station Wheel is certified for spinning.

Are they are creating a new certificate?

And I thought multiengine would be expensive...

Tangent to this thread are the airspace considerations that will have to be
made for the proposed private "spaceports." Branson wants to build one for
Virgin Galactic in New Mexico and one of the other X Prize-esque operations
wants to build one in Texas.

Yet another source for TFRs...

SFC to FL600...
