Subject: SpaceShipOne Daily update - 6/15



Hi all,

Starting today, I plan on sending out a daily update on the
activities surrounding the SpaceShipOne launch.

-The flight is scheduled to commence at 0630 Monday 6/21, however
that is dependent on weather. Should there be a weather delay, such
as winds, the folks at Scaled plan on waiting and launching as soon
as the weather permits, even if it stretches to the next day.
-The public will enter the airport from the main Airport Blvd
entrance off of Hwy 58. The airport will open at 3am, but it is
pretty much assumed around here that there will be so many people
showing up that the roads will be clogged. RVs will be permitted in
the day before, with reservations (661/824-2433). I know that there's
already 89 coming, some of whom are NASA folks who are bringing a
band and everything. Regular vehicles will be charged $10 entrance
fee (to help mitigate the huge cost of security that the airport has
to bear), and I can't remember the RV cost...check mojaveairport.com
for details. Don't try to avoid the traffic by coming in the back
entrances...these are for VIPs with passes and tenants with ID badges.
-There will be a TFR, and only aircraft with PPR numbers will be
permitted into the airspace, starting on Saturday, I believe. Again,
see mojaveairport.com for details.
-If you don't make it onto the airport, you'll still see the
firing...it'll be visible for miles.
-There will be food and consessions selling souveniers, with all
profits going to local charities.
-There will be a press conference 2 hours after the flight, at which
time the FAA will award the first ever Commercial Pilot's License
with Astronaut rating.

If you have any questions, post them to the group and I'll answer
them in the next day's message.

I'll be here starting Sunday afternoon, sleeping in the Mercy
quarters.

Alan
