Isn't that where we were in November 05?

Wow. What a tragedy.

Yup, we were there in '05. I have photos of SpaceShipOne inside its hangar when we drove past in in our vehicle.

Thanks,
Sarah

From the LA Times

Rutan said that he communicated with Richard Branson by e-mail and phone less than an hour before the news conference, and that Branson cleared him to speak in general terms about the SpaceShip Two project.

"This whole program for Richard Branson's company is a program that's clumsy for us, because it's announced but not unveiled," Rutan said. "So we have for a year and a half here been not answering any questions at all about the program," he said, becoming visibly agitated as he spoke to reporters.

Rutan said the accident would not change the company's insistence on secrecy. SpaceShip Two "won't be unveiled until it's ready to fly," he said.
