2. That is two quick milestones for Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites.

   Space Ship One

3. Me thinks that it was rigged by Karl Rove!  They secretly scrambled a stealth KC135 to refuel Fossett and then used a Aurora Project plane to create a draft that sucked the plane along.

7. That plane looks nice. Much like a P-38 with a single jet and twin horiz. stabilizers. That must be a hella strong wing, though, to support the twin fuel booms and the tails.
