The article implies more uncertainty than there is. To my knowledge everyone agrees to define the edge of space at 100km (about 62 miles), with the exception of the US where for historical reasons the edge of space is seen as 50 miles above sea level. There is no international agreement, but even though the line is arbitrary there is no huge variety of widely held opinions.
