SpaceShipOne
If all goes as planned, at 9:30 a.m. EDT the White Knight carrier plane, with SpaceShipOne slung beneath it, will take off from Mojave, Calif. and begin a one-hour climb to a launch altitude of 50,000 feet. SpaceShipOne's flight should last roughly 25 minutes. It will rocket to space, spend about three minutes weightless outside the atmosphere, then enter the earth’s atmosphere in a high-drag configuration.
Godspeed, good luck.
