From what I've read at transterrestrial.com the flight went faster than Mach 2 and over 105,000 feet.

They need 62 miles altitude, right? They've gone about a third of the way there, so that's very good progress.

I was hoping to see John Carmack's project get going.

It's an interesting comment. Someone else made the comment that there is a big difference between sub orbital and orbital. They won't be having to deal with the re-entry issues, that as we saw with the shuttle, are very difficult.

The guy who heads this firm knows exactly what he's doing, and he's building a plane to WIN THIS PRIZE and that's it. Yeah, the PR will be great. But it's not a vehicle that can be then put into orbit, replace the shuttle or let the Free State Project get their orbital libertarian habitat up there.

Still AWESOME JOB! Proud to be an American. Go team USA.
