  • Those test pilot are heros!! Respect!!

  • So is what Virgin galactic plans to do identical to this? Or does it go higher?

  • Great clip! I have always wondered: at what point did they stop making these movie theater style newsreels? I never could find a clear answer.

  • man, the X-15 is probably the greatest and fastest plane for NASA. I have it in FSX, and it's super hard to land. But I have gotton up to 97,000 ft and went at about mach 5.

  • looks like a good wack of p.i.o.

  • Rest in Peace Scott Crossfield.

  • NB-52 carrier plane has been in use up to the latest years and only has just been permanently grounded due to age.
