"Chad Irby" wrote in message .com... What we have is two "qualifying" flights in July/August, separated by a month, two hardware failures and a couple of weather failures. So, by your own admission, they couldn't do it. Please explain how not doing it proves they couldn't do it. But, in the actual records, they *couldn't*. Computer overheat, vulnerability to weather, bad APU... nope, they couldn't manage it, even with the less-stringent "rules" in effect. Nonsense. The X-15 achieved turnaround times of less than two weeks and was flown over 100 km, that proves they could have flown it twice over 100 km within two weeks if they had chosen to do so.
