You can just imagine all those NASA and public trough government people watching the spaceship being towed back to the hanger by a pickup truck with a couple of average joes sitting on the tailgate. And not wearing white overalls etc. I think one of the tidiest actions was when the pilot left the aircraft just a few minutes after landing unlike 20 minutes or so while the space shuttle is purged of poisonous gasses. I wonder how many NASA types felt as if they were slapped. It's just so sweet Dan, U.S. Air Force, retired How about the yourn stud "astronauts" upstaged by a 62 year old grandpa? |

How about making the trip in pressurized comfort, wear comfy clothes, neato pilots sunglasses, oxygen mask, and floating M&Ms around the cockpit. What do you think Pepsi would pay to have him scarf down a slice of pie from Pizza Hut while downing a Pepsi up there. |

In article , Frank Hitlaw says... Hi Frank I heard mooz is claiming to have been in Beech chase plane .I can't believe Burt was that unknowing about who he let on board.That is if it's true. Boy talk about useless baggage he probably got airsick LOL!!! Chuck! You are just not being fair to Zoom. After all, he is probably the most qualified person to be in the chase plane. Remember, he *is* a graduate of the Test Pilot School! This could come in handy, should there be any re-entry problems, where they need Jim to "talk the pilot back to earth". Besides, this is a risky flight, and if there were any medical problems, Jim's extensive medical background could come in handy too. Thank God he was there to let mission control know they suffered some damage on the fuselage. |

ANN Publisher Jim Campbell, flying just feet away from Scaled's SpaceShipOne in a Beechcraft Starship chase plane, was the first to report some indications of possible thermal or load damage on the aft portion of the spacecraft, just in front of the rocket bell. -- Wow!!! Flying just "feet" away!!! Did Zoom get his space wings also??? Pianome I was listening to the chase planes and I thought that the high chase (the Alpha Jet) called that Space Ship 1 appeared to have some damage. It was possible load or thermal damage,great trick for the mooz to be in both planes at once. They had three chase planes the Alpha Jet was the high chase,The Beech Starship was for medium altitudes and a Extra 300 for low chase. Mooz probably logged time in all three Monday. I did see the nitwits by-line on a photo for Reuters in USA Today. Bet that he fed them one of his lines of B.S. he has alot of them. Frank |
