I’m 44 and listened to a lot of “classic rock” in college.... everything from Zeppelin to the Doors, Pink Floyd, etc... Realized recently that to today’s teens, 90’s grunge is just as old and Classic.  Kurt Cobain and Eddie Vedder are their Plant and Page.   

He is likely aware. Technically the earth’s gravity extends infinitely but he was probably referring to the Exosphere which is commonly referenced as where “outer space” begins as this is where the atmospheric particles are no longer dense enough to form a gas and is more vacuum like.

I agree that it is tacky, but so is using derogatory terms like “flyover state”. 

Last new car I bought was sourced from a neighboring state which requires front plates   I made the dealer provide body colored bumper plugs    They really aren’t that obvious looking  

I mean.... VAG (VW, Audi, Porsche) was Hitler’s company. GM killed public transportation 80 years ago in America.  Henry Ford was a racist and Anti Semite...   I can keep going.
