I first met Burt Rutan at the EAA convention in Oshkosh in '73. He was unconventional then, with his Vari-Viggen design, and more so now.

The best of luck to Burt and his team.

This project almost seems routine after winning the X-prize. When you consider though that Rutan must have been developing this aircraft at the same time he was perfecting the X-prize rocket it gives you some idea of his creativity and energy.
