It's interesting to see the smoke trail visible on the right of the video, left by the SpaceShipTwo: you can see from where it bursted till where it arrived at the top point, and then redescended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted September 7, 2013 #6 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Sweet! Does it "gilde" to a landing, or is it a "power-assisted" landing? Sorry, haven't kept up with the articles to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After an initial burst from it's engine it glides all the way down. I envy our grand children and great grand children who will see this as a primitive curiosity, I hope... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highdesert50 Posted September 8, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 8, 2013 WhiteKnight is quite impressive too; carrying Spaceship Two to a height above that of commercial airliners is no trivial endeavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon15066 Posted September 17, 2013 #12 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I wonder if people will have to sign a paper stating that they (passengers) will not talk about what they see. There are a lot of huge craft out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
