There have been several successful rocket tests & test flights from various teams recently & i thought i'd let you all know about Mondays upcoming event. Hopefully there will be good news about this test.


SPACE RACE LIFTS OFF!
06.18.2004

The launch aircraft with SpaceShipOne underneath will taxi from its hangar at 6:30 a.m. Pacific time on Monday, June 21. The goal is 328,084 feet (100 kilometers), the altitude at which "space" officially begins.

There are 500 media representatives signed up to cover Monday's event. :shocked:

More info about this & all the competing teams can be found on the X-Prize website.
 
Just found out that one of my brother-inlaw's is there as we speak and is all set to see the launch. This is going to be quite the historic event!
 
Now all he has to do is add two more people to the craft, fly it into space, land it and do it again within two weeks of the initial flight.
PLUS he has to figure out why the fuselage buckled in flight today.
