BTW - what did YOU do that weekend?

about to make a 55 second burn and attained
212,000 feet msl at apogee in their space
ship?

Cool story but irrelevant to the question at hand
since there was more than a week between the two events.

Spaceship One Flight #3, the high altitude flight: 13 May 04
The weekend Michael asked about: 21-23 May 04

Related: The first space attempt is scheduled for 21 June
and is open to the public. Don't need a press pass or
an invite to be JAFO.

Dave;

Now that I know zzzzzoom was in attendance at Mohave I wish that I
had continued my trip that day. I was at Edwards trying to visit the
museum that very day. I had planned to go on to Mohave, but after
being turned away from Edwards due to security (they weren't letting
anyone in without a base sticker).

This doesn't sound exactly right. You don't have to have a base
sticker to get in to Air Base museums. Temporary passes are issued if
you set them up ahead of time.

I turned around and headed back to
Victorville. When I checked the net that night I found out about the
Spaceship One flight. I was really bummed that I didn't head on over.
Now that I know that zzzzoom was there I am sure that my presence
would have ruined his day.

Why is that? Were you planning to intimidate him or something?
