...make sure you watch the videos tonight of Burt Rutan's ship...

Very impressive.

Interesting that when it's falling in "feathered" mode for reentry it's
velocity is great than a bullet fired from most rifles.

3400 + feet per second as I recall.

And during that time the pilot says he can fold his arms, take his feet off the
pedals and just sit back and enjoy the ride.

According to Rutan, he's starting to be regulated to death.

Apparently NASA fears that he is going to take a lot of their over
priced and unsafe shuttle business away from them and is using the FAA
to harrass him.

I wouldn't doubt it. I mean, we just can't have anybody flying around
up there - it's - well, it's just down right unsafe.

Take care.
