Dear X PRIZE Members-
As you may know, yesterday, Burt Rutan's Mojave Aerospace Ventures Team
successfully reached an altitude of 337,500 feet with Mike Melvill (the pilot)
onboard plus ballast (approx. 180 Kg). This flight was deemed by the Judges as
a successful first flight for the $10 million Ansari X PRIZE.
We have just received official notice from Burt Rutan that SpaceShipOne's
second flight (X2) will take place Monday morning, October 4th. Expected flight
timeline:
* Takeoff at 7am PT
* Ignition at 8am PT
* Landing at 8:30am PT
* Press Conference to announce official Altitude at 10:30am PT
The entire flight can be viewed LIVE at www.xprize.org on our global webcast.
Please spread the word to your friends. Tune in and help us celebrate the birth
of the Personal Spaceflight Revolution!
Best,
Peter H. Diamandis
