Scaled Composites has posted the logs for several successful engine test results on its webpage.
Some real news about SpaceShipTwo: Scaled Composites has posted the logs for several successful engine test results on its webpage.
The information is sparse, but it suggests that these tests are attempts to run the engine through a full simulated flight.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

Nitpicky as it may be, the phrase ‘objectives completed’ doesn’t inspire a lot of confidence. I’ve read any number of engineering reports, and ‘completed’ isn’t the same as ‘achieved’. To use a bad analogy, one can complete a course of action, and not achieve the goals set.
Maybe he;s just trying to point out all the “goals’ he has made.
Goals like…
Planned to wake up on Monday. Goal achieved.
Planned to fire a rocket engine today. Goal achieved.
Set your goals low enough and you can make even the smallest sound bigger than it really is.
He does seem to be getting farther and farther from his real goal of lifting a paying passenger into the edges of space.
By now he should actually be flying his spacecraft into space on a monthly basis at least. At least with a few instruments for science/testing and his pilots.
