SpaceShipOne completes supersonic x-prize test flight today
 
Hi All,

Thought this link might be of interest. Obvously timed to tie in with the Wright Brothers 100th anniversay. SpaceShipOne today achieved it's first supersonic flight.

I'd sign up for a flight, anyone else?

I'd sign up for a job with them, but failing that a flight would do :O

I can't think of anybody else doing anything quite so exciting in flight test at the moment, and am full of admiration for what they're doing - and the timing is the sort of dramatic gesture I suppose you might expect from Scaled. :ok:

Well done the folks at Mojave, and best of luck with the next stage in the programme.

I'd take a job too, but as it looks like getting press coverage is the least of thier worries i'll not bother them with my c.v. :D
