Thanks for the play-by-play everyone, I am stuck at work where they block out high-bandwidth media on the internet.
This sounds scary as heck! That spin could have damaged something, I wont be confident until the pilot steps out of that craft in good shape...

If _I_ were paying about $200,000 for a flight in this thing, and something didn't happen to make it really EXCITING (like a super roll or such) I would be rather disappointed... LOL... For ME this makes it all the more attractive.

This opens up a whole new world of industry -- civilian/private near-space and space travel -- in the future.
This is very comparable to the Wright brothers flights a century ago.

Boy, that spin sure got my heart beating a little faster...That was one of those "holy crap!" moments--my heart was pounding & my eyes were huge.
I hit the record button so my hubby could see the ship taking off--and does he have something to see.
