The Kármán line, which lies at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level, is commonly considered the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space. Rockets typically enter space and begin their journey beyond this altitude.
In outer space, the distance to the horizon depends on the observer's altitude. For example, from the International Space Station (ISS) at about 400 km above Earth's surface, the horizon is approximately 2,984 km away. As the observer's altitude increases, the distance to the horizon also increases.
The space shuttle is launched into Outer Space by having it attached to the rocket that launches up as well as the space shuttle and gradually the rocket falls apart and lands in the Pacific ocean. It often lands there. The space shuttle then continues its mission alone.
It takes about 8-9 minutes for a spacecraft to reach outer space after launch. This is known as the Kármán line, which marks the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space at an altitude of 100 km (62 miles).
It takes a space shuttle about 8 to 9 minutes to reach outer space once it launches from Earth. This is typically when the shuttle reaches an altitude of about 100 kilometers (62 miles) above the Earth's surface.

Space officially begins at the Krmn line, which is located at an altitude of 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level. This is where the Earth's atmosphere becomes very thin and the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and outer space is considered to start.

No. The sky includes areas well within Earth's atmosphere, which are not considered part of outer space.

Michel Fournier is planning to jump from 130,000 feet - about 25 miles in the air. From that altitude, he will be able to see outer space and Earth's curvature.

There is no sudden change between "atmosphere" and "outer space"; the atmosphere gets thinner and thinner as you move away from Earth. Official definitions of "outer space" usually start at around 100 km above Earth's surface - but please note that this altitude is still too low for satellites, at least if they are to orbit Earth long-term - since they will still get a significant amount of atmospheric drag at that altitude.
By convention in the aerospace industry, Space is considered to be above an altitude of 100 km from Earth's surface.
