Hard to believe that the entire program cost about the same as Dennis Tito
paid for his ride.

Chalk up one for the 'mature' gang too. The pilot was 60, for once
'experience' was the name of the game.

I'd want a word with scaled composites about the L/D if it was my money
though, 100km high 'aerotow' and only a 45 minute sledge ride back down.

:-)
