The Laughing Wolf

SpaceShipOne

Good launch, just saw what appeared to be a clean separation and start of climb. More soon.

MADE IT! Coming home.

Pilot reported a couple of loud bangs, chase planes checked it out, report all looks good.

What a beautiful landing! SpaceShipOne is down safely. Ladies and Gentlemen, the door has just been kicked open.

Quick Notes on Coverage: Fox flat out sucked. Most all the news channels did, and the anchors seemed fixated entirely on tourism. Quite a few were very dismissive of such, and it was clear that most anchors don't have a clue about space or spaceflight, or even aviation for that matter. Lots of work to do in that field, but that is a post for another day.

UPDATE: Go check out Rand's on-site coverage including yet another wonderful media moment he points out. Gee, glad we made it to the atmosphere...
