I think you did a great job on this video. In the years to come people will look back at this event with, I hope, some sort of reverence and awe. I'm glad your video helped me relive it again.

Great video ... my family and I (along with many friends) were there at the spaceport -- my friends made and brought the sign lofted after the flight: "Spaceship One - Government Zero".

It's 'Beautiful Strange'. I found it on a somafm stream, and it identified the artist as 'superclub'.. Doing a little research now I think it was mislabeled with the album name as the artist name. I believe the artist is John Digweed.

The internationally recognized boundary of space is the Kármán line, at 100KM from sea level. One of the stills at the beginning of the video is of the FAA awarding Mike Melvil astronaut wings. So if it's good enough for international standards bodies and the US government.... *shrug*

SpaceShip One and Two are amazing little airplanes, rocket airplanes that is. I'm sure the air up there was very soft, the winds usually die off at around 240,000 feet. A real record for a civil aircraft. Of course any flight activities that go on within the atmosphere (under ~370,000 feet) is aviation, not space flight. But it's damn close. In the U.S. you're known to be an astronaut if you've flown over 264,000 feet, but that is only aorund the Mesopause. Still got about 100,00 feet to go.

Over 50 statute miles is classified as space flight by NASA.

You can go into space yourself, if your a really good DIY. Just need to build a rigid frame and strap rocket motor.

yea there is such a thing as sub-orbital space flight...

whats the name of the music?

nice, but shit quality

It's a TERRIBLE bit of video relative to what else is out there....you cant shoot this stuff handheld. You just cant.
