Oh, of course! This is strictly remote piloting. We are still debating whether we will do a manned flight with the supersonic vehicle to take the 3000 meter time-to-climb record, or just proceed immediately to the X-Prize vehicle.

In regards to slosh at burnout, we should have a pretty good tolerance for that, because the attitude engines have 18" hoses leading to them, while the main engine has a direct shot. The attitude engine should continue functioning smoothly even if the main engine swallows some nitrogen.
