The Karman Line of 100km(63mi) is the most common boundary of space. The United States Air Force, while trying to "Aim High" actually aims a little lower. 80 KM (50mi) can earn you an Astronaut badge. No one has raised the boundary of space, but there is talk about, in the future, raising it to either 130km (80mi). This is actually coming from COPUS - Committee for the Peaceful Use of Space, specifically the Report of the Legal Subcommittee on its forty-eighth session, held in Vienna from 23 March to 3 April 2009. But nothing came of it. Besides 100km is a lot easier to remember than 139km.
