I am developing a new hybrid propellant concept that I would like to
discuss...It's basically very similar to any hybrid, except that the
propellant consists of a cylindrical grain of lightly bonded
magnesium
powder onto which is sprayed through injectors the oxidizer.
To all the team at Mojave Aerospace and Scaled Composites on the
second flight of SpaceShipOne to 328,000 feet today, winning the
Asanti X-Prize and openning a new chapter in human spaceflight.
Unofficial altitude was 368,000 feet. Expected confirmation will be
about 9:00 am PDT.
Well done
Congratulations to Burt Rutan and Scaled Composites! Unofficial altitude
is 368K'.

Not only that, but over 365,000 feet, Joe Walker's X-15 altitude record
(354,300 feet) plus the 3% margin necessary to claim the record.

Hi ...
On the same day that SpaceShipOne won the X-Prize to open suborbital
space to civilians, Gordo Cooper (one of the original Mercury 7
astronauts) passed away.

The old and the new.
