Spaceship One: The First Private Flight into Space
Mike Melville pilots the diminutive "Spaceship One", carried aloft to its launch point above Mojave, Califorina, by Burt Rutan's incredible "White Knight". This budget flight showed NASA that their entire approach to space flight was really screwed up. But did they listen? Don't bet on it. Now Branson is having Rutan build a larger version of Spaceship one for paying customers! Wow! Private spaceflight could eclipse NASA in a few years!
