I watched the whole thing on NASA TV. I just stumbled on it as I was
channel surfing and watched everything from the B-52 taxiing at Edwards to
the recovery. It hit supersonic right after the tail of the rocket cleared
the B-52's nose. Very cool.

Bird traveled about 14 miles on the fuel it carried before it ran out
and shut down. What would you do with a 14 mile bird?

Do the 14 miles really really really really really really really really really
really really really fast.

....while climbing like crazy and then gliding another 100 miles or so.
A lot of missiles do this ie. fast fuel burn to accelerate to say mach
5 in about 15 sec and then gliding (coasting might be a better term
here) the rest of the way to the target. It's amazing how much
momentum that much metal travelling 5000 mph will have.

What would you do with a bird that only flew 112 feet? Two brothers
from Ohio changed the world.
