“The ship went to 69,000 feet (21 km, 13 miles) but you can still see the blackness of space and the curvature of Earth in the video.”

69,000 feet? No one in the back there to join the 21 Mile High club?

I love it the way that Rutan/Scaled/Space Ship Company have posted their flight test program & results online.

Confidence & transparency.

I'd fly with them.... if I had the $200K to spare!
