With all the dummies in the world, it should have been very easy to
find two for this flight...  I believe the X Prize allows one human and two appropriately weighted dummies. I was going to look it up for sure, but the XPrize website seems to be crumbling under the load today.

What a glorious sight I believe, to be perfectly correct, that it demonstrated that it's not just aerobatic, but astrobatic once it crossed the 100km mark. :-) What a glorious sight indeed! -Aviv

At that speed it probably wouldn't take much. Awesome job getting it back under control. Talk about unusual attitude recovery! -c

They had a "bunch of stuff" provided by company employees
that weighed about what a person would - enough to qualify. Clever . . .
