Space Ship One first powered flight!

: Can't see any other X-Prize team beating Rutan now
:
:I would be very surprised if anyone beat Burt and his bunch to the
unch. When has he not hit a target he set out to?
Grizzley
Solitare
Visionair Vantage
V-jet
Proteus
Starship
Ares
Triumph jet
Pond Racer
NGT/T46
Lotus Microlight
CM-144
AD-1 skew wing

Other than those, he's done very well.

HAHA, I guess I stand a bit corected...but having said that, what was
wrong with the Proteus? I think it hit the hit the target exactly and
the Pond Racer had a cooling system malfunction....

I guess if we are going ot be honest with ourselves, he has done more
to advance private aviation than any other single person in the past
twenty years...looking at the thing she has achieved.

Along with triumphs, there will be failures, but the tradgic are the
ones that are never brought to fruition by those who dream but never
do.

Besides which, the purpose of an experiment is to find out whether or
not something works. The fact that something didn't work as expected is
a disappointment but it doesn't mean that the experiment wasn't
successful. If you shoot for small targets at extremely long range, a
few misses are to be expected.
