Their ship isn't very impressive to me. It goes like straight up. I remember reading somewhere that getting into orbit requires twice the thrust that they currently have? They really only get into "technical space" and dont get far from the earth. Good start.

consider this. their ship is nothing but an aluminium frame with a fabric cover made hard by an apoxy. it reaches speeds fater than a bullet and is able to leave our atmosphere and go into the vacume of space AND then return with the pilot still alive. All done with only 20 guys working on the project.

if that isnt impressive i dont know what it.

:thumbsup:

what spaceport? the ISS?

Mojave Airport

I flew there a couple months back, it's an awesome place to visit. They have all kinds of mothballed airliners and jets, even a Zero. On the tarmac they had a few F4's waiting to be wired up as targeting drones.
