MOJAVE GEARS UP FOR HISTORIC SPACE FLIGHT
10 June 2004
The Mojave Airport in California is preparing for the thousands of
spectators that are expected to witness the world's first private
manned space flight there on June 21. X PRIZE team Scaled Composites plans to
launch one pilot aboard SpaceShipOne into space as a precursor for
future X PRIZE competitive flights.
"Landing SpaceShipOne safely is the number one issue on our mind," said Director Bob Rice to Space.com.
"We're dealing with parking locations right now. We can fit only so
many cars. We've got plans for everything. And yes, there will be T-shirts."
