Preparations The sun is up now. I'll have pics later. The XCOR hangar is right on the flight line, and I hear the sounds of helicopters and other aircraft (perhaps including chase planes), getting into position prior the rollout. I'm heading down to the viewing area, so no blogging for a while. [Update a few minutes later] OK, one more. They've got White Knight halfway out of the hangar, fueling and prepping it to taxi over to the viewing area at 6:30. Posted by Rand Simberg at June 21, 2004 06:01 AMTrackBack URL for this entry:

Now Past 50K
Excerpt: SpaceShipOne has past the 50,000 ft mark, on its way to 100,000, where it will detach from the airplane and start rocketing up. Rand Simberg is actually there watching it all unfold.... Weblog: The Speculist Tracked: June 21, 2004 07:37 AM
White Knight Is Up
Excerpt: A few minutes ago I watched White Knight take off with Spaceship One snuggled safely in her womb. They took off about 20 minutes late... Weblog: Dean's World Tracked: June 21, 2004 07:49 AM
Today is the day that history is made
Excerpt: SpaceShipOne is due to fire its engine at any moment now. Rand Simberg is blogging about it live from onsite at the Mojave Spaceport. He's got it covered, and is promising photos. CNN and Fox are covering it live... Weblog: Confessions of a Jesus Phreak Tracked: June 21, 2004 08:12 AM

Rand, Thanks for the near live reportage. Posted by Mike Borgelt at June 21, 2004 06:09 AMMSNBC has live vide feed right now, its media player 9 only tho :/ Posted by at June 21, 2004 06:38 AMYes! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! I'm so excited! Posted by Quana at June 21, 2004 06:51 AMThe msnbc video is a mirror of the NASAtv feed, and it has nothing to do with spaceship one. The liveaudio link from space.com doesn't work either. Posted by Ed Minchau at June 21, 2004 06:58 AMits in the air .. "The msnbc video is a mirror of the NASAtv feed" Im getting WK+SS1 airborne over MSNBC right now Posted by at June 21, 2004 06:59 AMBBC has a video feed, tucked away on their front page ... glitchy, but live. RealPlayer, for them as has it. Touch wood, now... Posted by Andrew Gray at June 21, 2004 07:01 AMGodspeed... Posted by at June 21, 2004 07:04 AMIt was pouring rain this morning, and I'm sore and sunburned from this past weekend... perfect excuse to call in sick so I could watch it on TV... But, no, I was a good little worker bee, and now I'm stuck in the office with nary a live video feed in my future, as all of you have already sucked up the bandwidth. ;) I shoulda' taped it, but I'm glad to see it's getting massive mainstream media attention. Posted by John at June 21, 2004 07:04 AMhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/ has a live video link ( realmedia ) on the frontpage. Beautiful camera work, too. Both SS1 and chase plane visible right now Posted by at June 21, 2004 07:11 AMYup, got it on BBC. One of the few things I've found them useful for lately. ;) Thanks for the heads up on that, Andrew. Posted by John at June 21, 2004 07:16 AMBurn!!!! Posted by at June 21, 2004 08:03 AMJohn Pike on Fox just quipped it's not "true" spaceflight. Just like you aren't a true expert John! Posted by Mike Puckett at June 21, 2004 08:11 AMSounds like SS1 is making it's approach for landing but I haven't heard anything definite about how high it flew. "temporary confirmation" that it flew to over 100k (62 miles). Posted by AndrewS at June 21, 2004 08:17 AMCongratulations to Team SS1 from another X-Prize wanna-be. The old CFFC team continues in new ongoing ventures. Thanks for opening the door Mr. Rutan! The live video feed on MSNBC was abysmal at best... no live shot of the burn. BBC got it, though. Nothing on FoxNews.com's home page until a little while ago. In fact, haven't seen much coverage from them all morning, just CNN and PMSNBC. Posted by John at June 21, 2004 08:19 AMThe expression on Burt's face is something what we, skydivers call a "surgical grin" which usually appears after a person has been in his first freefall. Its kinda impossible to get off the face :P Posted by at June 21, 2004 08:34 AMAwesome!!! Way to go Burt and Mike! I hope schoolkids across the country got to see this historic flight. Posted by Michael Colangelo at June 21, 2004 08:49 AMAnyone know what SS1's registration number is? N38...? Posted by AndrewS at June 21, 2004 08:50 AMN62 something, in reference to the altitude it was supposed to reach. Their website is pegged right now, or I'd be able to verify 100% Posted by John at June 21, 2004 08:54 AMAndrewS N328KF The image I've got on my desktop is from the last flight, taken from a camera mounted on tail, shot of the body of SS1. The Reg number is plain as day. Posted by Brian at June 21, 2004 09:00 AMPost a comment |
