We can hope it works out okay........

CNN is supposed to carry this live, I'll be up early monday morning.....

StarShipOne, the X-Prize entry of Rutan's Scaled Composites, is set for a test flight Monday, June 21st, at 9:30am ET, (6:30am PST, 8:30am CST)

This will be a 25 minute launch that, if successful, will make it the first private manned craft to leave the atmosphere. The plan is that it will rocket to space, spend about three minutes weightless outside the atmosphere, then enter the earth’s atmosphere and land back at Mojave.

This is not an X-Prize run, as that requires three people on board, and this will be a single piloted event.

Work will be late monday.....
