    well that was deadly. it was pretty boring for about an hour after the launch because there was nothing to see, then just over an hour after the WhiteKnight launch you seen the conf trail as SpaceShipOne blasts up to Mach 3+. Bloody camera man missed the start of it and you could hear him ask if the mike was off and then he started to bitch that noone had told him when exactly the burn would be. They tuned into the chatter between SpaceshipOne and the chase craft for the return and from the chatter it seemed there might be a problem. quite exciting stuff, heard on of the chase craft tell him there was a big buckel under the tail fairing but it didnt cause any problems.
    Great stuff. delighted i did fook all work for the last hour and a half to watch and listen in to this historic moment in space & avaition history :D
