Will Rutan sing “Rocketman” a la Adam Shatner as he climbs away?
Or maybe he´ll do a cover of Mayor Tom perhaps?
Adam Shatner? Don’t you mean William Shatner?
I’m kinda rooting for the da Vinci Project, myself, being as they’re launching from Kindersley and all. If they provide advance notice of their launch, I might just have to pop down and watch.
Still, Burt’s got one seriously bitching spaceship, there.
Can’t be William Shatner, Ale mentioned singing.
SS1 breaks the sound barrier again:

I’ve seen coverage of the glide tests, but I didn’t know they did in-flight engine tests. This is really cool.
The jackleg in me also loves a bunch of guys who make control surface adjustments with a chainsaw.
Ooops!, Freud make me do that, really!
Woooooo!!! Burt! Burt! Woooo!!!
I’ve been following this as closely as is possible with this secretive bunch … let’s hear it for Burt!
That latest story says this latest test got them over 105,000 feet, or about 1/3 of the height they need to make to get the Prize, which is approximately 330,000 feet. Very exciting!
I think you mean Adam Sandler in Mr. Deeds and he sang Major Tom, not Rocketman (I think)
Test results for Rutan’s latest flight. Seems to be a robust design.
