Xeque:
It has to be repeated within 2 weeks of the first flight and most carry either 3 people or their equivelant weight. The craft must be piloted and reach a height of 62.something miles of altitude.
Ctwatters:
SpaceShipOne does not require heat sheilding as it descends at a rather leisurely speed. Rocket motors will burn out at 200K(ish) feet at around M 3.0, the craft will then coast to the required 350K(ish) feet where it will reconfigure the wings for the, slow, high-drag descent. Total flight time, including launch from the mothership (who's name eludes me know) will be around 45 minutes.
Good Luck to all of the SpaceShipOne crew, on the ground, in the air and in space.
One cannont fail to notice how Sir Richard has, once again, seized the moment and got his and his companys name all over the news, on what is from a technical point of view still a very shaky proposition. Oh, but how the media swallows! Personally I'm a bit miffed he's stealing Burt Rutan and Scaled Composits' sunshine.
