SpaceShipOne Makes Third Rocket-Powered Flight

That Buck Rogers Stuff

Yeeeha!

Yee-Ha

Burt Rutan’s Spaceshipone makes its third powered test flight, reaching an altitude of 212,000 feet.  Kids, that’s 41 miles, or over 80% of the way to space.  NASA gives astronaut wings to anyone who makes it to fifty miles up.
