It went flawlessly this a.m. Beautiful contrails of Eve & Unity separating. A steep climb under rocket power. The motor roar got to us 2 minutes later. I coyld hear the sound of the descent...sort of a humming pulse. Eve did a gear up flyby. G5s are leaving now. Big celebration tent for employees/spouses/few media. For the staff...a vindication of years of work done well. Onward!!!


Cool.
Saw the crazy contrails during my bicycle ride this morning, not knowing what it was as around here anything goes.
Should have known it was Forger.
Something also went through Mach a little later? But it sounded faint. Certainly not the racket of an SR71.
