Beyond Blue Sky - A 93 Minute Documentary

Beyond Blue Sky:  The Untold Story of the First Private Astronauts explores how, from 2001 to 2004, a small team of engineers in California’s Mojave Desert built a simulator, a mothership and a small composite airplane that test pilots Mike Melvill and Brian Binnie flew to space three times. It was a supersonic physics experiment that ended in aerospace immortality for the corner-cutting geniuses, who operated on a razor’s edge to prove to the world it was possible to have a low-cost, privately financed manned space program.
