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??? Zoom probably went to some FBO in Florida on Monday, and managed to get a ride in a Starship, making sure he was in the air at the same time that SpaceShipOne was in the air in Mojave, listening to CNN on the intercom. Lets see.. approximately 2700 miles between Mojave and Florida. 2700 times 5280 feet = 14,256,000 feet. So when you think about it, his statement was not a lie at all.. He was just "feet" away at the time (14,256,000 of 'em) |

From article , by Richard Lamb :
For two, their method of re-entry will never work if returning from orbit. An admirable achievement nonetheless. Why? Because it was designed to be a sub-orbital ship... This particular *design* won't work, yes, but why not the "method" (i.e. moving surfaces to make for a "hands off" reentry)? |
