06/21/2004 12:09 PMWorld's first civilian space shot launches
from Mojave Desert: No confirmmation on their altitude yet, but
everyone is home safely.
SpaceShipOne pilot Mike Melvill was aiming to fly 62 miles above
the Earth's surface. The exact altitude reached was not immediately
confirmed by radar.
The ship touched down at Mojave Airport to applause and cheers at
8:15 a.m. PT, about 90 minutes after it was carried aloft slung under
the belly of the jet-powered White Knight.
The mission announcer said the mission had been successful.

06/17/2004 09:49 AMIn which Piss Clear meets the Final Frontier:
Hi all, The folks at MHV are continuing to get the various sites ready
for the influx of people, who seem to already be arriving. Several RVs
drove slowly down the flightline.
The White Knight, which was doing a number of touch and goes day
before yesterday, was out doing maintenance runs today.
Yesterday's update generated a couple of questions:
1 -- Can a person sleep in their car on the airport overnight
Sunday night? No. The general parking area won't open till 3am. Only
self-contained RVs will be allowed on the airport overnight. There is
a large open lot across Hwy 58 from where big-rig trucks usually
overnight, and that might be an option. I do understand, however, that
a number of people plan on lining up on the shoulder of 58 around
midnight. Don't know if they'll get chased away or not. There's a CHP
(California Highway Patrol, for you out-of-staters) station adjacent
to the airport, so they may be out in force.
2 -- Is there any European live broadcasts planned? I've no clue.
AFAIK, there are a bunch of satellite trucks scheduled to start
arriving on Saturday, no idea who they might be from. I have not heard
of anyone planning a live webcast, but you might want to check at
space.com to see if they're doing anything...I know some of their
folks will be here.
One caution to those planning on being here but aren't used to life in
the desert: BRING LOTS OF WATER! Even at 7am, it's getting quite warm
now, and you will get dehydrated much faster than you'll realize.
There will be vendors selling water, but count on it being pricey. Our
rule of thumb out here: if you're not peeing every couple of hours,
you're not drinking enough.
Other news: I haven't received confirmation yet, but my understanding
was that the FAA was supposed to issue the airport the first ever
civilian spaceport license today. There's going to be about a 2 hour
gap between the flight and the offical press conference, and they are
tentatively planning to do a formal presentation of the license during
that time, and it should be within view of the public viewing area.
The public viewing area is set up southeast of the new Taxiway Bravo
(map is available at mojaveairport.com ), at the approach end of Rwy
30, so everyone will get an excellent view of the landing.
When Burt came in for lunch at the Voyager Cafe yesterday, he was all
grins...looks like he's really having a lot of fun with this. Five
days and counting!

06/18/2004 10:59 AMIn which our protagonists are asked,"So, you got a license for that
spaceport?"
Hi all, Not sure what the hitch is, but the
designation of MHV as the first commercial inland spaceport didn't
happen by the FAA as expected yesterday... stay tuned.
Regarding broadcasts and webcasts of the launch: CNN is reportedly
going to do a live broadcast, don't know if that'll reach Europe.
Local radio station KLOA FM 104.9 has the exclusive radio rights to
direct feed, and it now sounds as if they'll be live webcasting the
audio here. There is now a map of the public parking area up on the
the airport site here. There really is no other news to report this morning. It's
a gorgeous, if somewhat warm day.

06/21/2004 09:17 AMThe Space Woodstock Wireless edition. SpaceShipOne ground crew member
Alan Radecki says:
Well, folks, there's now a big RV city sitting out there...and they're
still lined up and coming in at 10pm. Lots of folks are wandering the
flightline street, ooing and ahing. XCOR has their hangar open and are
doing firings of their little rocket engines to show off for the
folks. Someone on the [mojave airport mailing] list mentioned "Space
Woodstock"...it certainly seems like it! There's a ton of press out
here, too...it'll be neat to see how things play out.
BoingBoing reader
Mike, who is en
route to the Mojave launch site, writes:
We're currently southbound on I-5, 222 miles from Mojave, and
intelligence from the front says that parking has been opened already
and there's about 300 people there already. We have a wifi base in
here connected to a GRPS cellular uplink and all sorts of insanity, so
we are a moving open wifi spot, and we will be one of the many who
will have a port open there.
And BoingBoing reader Peeter says, "The webcast links you pointed to
earlier seem to be overloaded, but
this one from MSNBC
still works -- at least here in Europe."
History may change today -- if the launch is successful, it will be
the first time a privately-built spacecraft carries a human into
space.

SpaceShipOne event recollections
SpaceShipOne event recollections
06/23/2004 05:38 PMEarly this week, SpaceShipOne became the first manned private
flight into space. The event was
covered by industry news organizations as well as the general
media, but personally, I find this first-person
account and these sets of photos and movies of the launch more compelling
than the general news coverage so far.
Both the first person story and site with photos and movies from
the event are released under an attribution-noncommercial-sharealike
license, meaning you can combine them, toss bits into your
non-commercial films, and/or record an audio version of the text
account.

is happy with the flight but the anomalies with the flight control
system and a big bang will have them looking at their telemetry data
to figure out what happened. [www.new

SpaceShipOne Makes It To Space
06/21/2004 01:51 PMWe wanted to avoid all the hype surrounding the launch of SpaceShipOne
until there was some actual news about it, rather than hundreds of
stories about how it would probably be touching space today. The news
has come back, however, that
SpaceShipOne has
successfully broken the space barrier with the first ever
"private-sector astronaut." While this won't qualify for the X-Prize
(there need to be 3 people on board), it certainly does suggest it
won't be long before the SpaceShipOne team can really go for it. As
the article makes abundantly clear, this represents quite a step
forward in the concept of private space travel. The real issue,
though, is how far private space travel will get before there's a
major accident (which unfortunately
will happen) -- and how
that will impact the overall industry.

In this Photoshop contest, Fark members bling out Burt Rutan and Paul
Allen's
SpaceShipOne. The
craft, which had a successful and historic test run in June, is
scheduled to make a go for the $10 million
Ansari X-Prize next Wednesday in the
Mojave desert. I'll be there, covering the presumably unphotoshopped
event for NPR.
If Snoop does indeed show up with "Space Shizzle One," as one Farkster
creatively visualizes here, well -- goodbye planet earth. Look for me
on the mothership, baby, for I will be gone.
