Anyone else planning to go to Mojave to see Burt Rutan's ship fly?

Cool. Unfortunately, I am going to CA commercial, but this this has to
be a "do not miss".

As much as I hate feeding this troll....
Yes, Mr. McNicoll, history. History in the fact that this, if
successful, will be the first flight into the realms of NASA defined 'outer
space' by a civilian organization not subsidized by any government funding.
It won't be the last. And it even might lead to advances in aviation to the
benefit of us all.
While you, in your purile attempts for attention, want to create
animus, there are those of us who cheer the effort.
Way back when, I used to enjoy reading your posts. Some of them were
informative. Now, you pick petty arguments and contribute very little to
this small sector of the aviation community.

PLONK!!!!!

Warmest regards,

Swell, but why does that make it historically significant?

Tell us, McNiacal, why is it not historically significant?

Why don't you just spit out what you're getting at?

It is amazing that someone who claims to be interested in aviation would not
see this as a historic event just because it has been, in some form,
accomplished before. The private funding source, small development team,
materials, aircraft design, unique rocket design, public involvement, and
goal of the project are all groundbreaking factors. Not to mention the
simple fact that it is being led by the most famous aviation designer alive
today.

I wish I could be there.

I'm going. I'm taking Monday off from work so I can head out there the night
before. It'll be a long night, but worth it in my opinion. One thing I've
been wondering though - how big is this thing going to be? I envision it
either being a dozen people standing around at dawn, or the the biggest
event Mojave airport has ever seen. Any idea where it's going to fall
between those two extremes?
