Thanks for putting this together. My father worked on this project as well as the ongoing project for Virgin Galactic. Scaled is a wonderful company founded by a truly gifted dreamer in Burt Rutan.
Just seeing this now...nice video. Fitting tribute as we approach the fifth anniversary of the first private spaceship and the winning X PRIZE flights.
I loved seeing Mike get his Astronaut Wings. A man with no degree from a university and no military flight experience. Just one of the best private test pilots in history. I want to be Mike!!
Absolutely incredible! I got chills watching this too. You picked just the right video and sound clips. I always thought that "Higher" by Van Halen was a good song for a SpaceshipOne tribute, and that's what I used in one of my videos. But this song might fit even better. Your timing was perfect, and scenes in the video matched up great with lines in the song. "Let's make our escape..." with WhiteKnight and SS1 taking off. Just awesome.
i am a senior undergraduate at the university of washington in the dept's of aeronautics & astronautics engineering and physicists. this is my dream.... quote from me, "me and my guys.... were going places..." scaled and its family has been an inspiration for us. and we'll be joining them along side soon. cant wait to bring our hybrid rocket booster to xprizecup 2008!!!
that plane is cool
