Also I think that we should have continued the X-15 project (the earlier version of the space plane) route. From what I understand the X-15 we near the edge of space. Too bad we stopped it and gone with the Shuttle route.

I have a tape of a program I saw on TV about 20 years ago called "The Rocket Pilots" all about the X-15 program. I keep hoping to see it on some cable channel again. In it, they say the Scott Crossfield could have been the first man in space if he had not followed orders.
