Thanks you for posting these great vids of one of the planet's truly exceptional human beings. Burt Rutan is living proof than absolutely awesome humans can aspire to much more than 'mere' billionaire status or positions of social dominance or power over people--that there are more ways to live an awesome life than cultivating an image and making people envious of money and status. Truly one of humanity's great adventurous & creative minds. Rock on Burt!
Fond memories of standing by in Scales Composites, Mojave as they built two masts for America's Cup Catamaran. 60/90'. Also attended his home blessing bonfire after inspecting it! Scultor, Late Nash Brown, who's wife was co-pilot on the Voyager Round the world flight was my bike buddy! Also watched Brian Schaeffer pedal a figure eighties. Worked six plane crashes in the area...
iv always dreamed of being a pilot, an AE engineer, and an officer for the af. its always been something, and now im enlisted working on the f22 and i love it, this guy inspires me, and gives me hope. hopefully in the next two years I will reach my dream as well.
Man, I love this guy! I've watched him from a distance since around 1973. And the best part is he's an AGW skeptic - he believes the hard push for carbon credits is based in blatant lying. And he's absolutely right!
sienfeld parody; jerry; what was all that sniffing? did you see that? elaine; i don't know george; yes i saw that jerry; you don't think rutan has a drug problem? elaine;come on rutan, doing drugs? jerry; no way its just a cold. george; right; right we can trust rutan, lets just hope we don't hear that he has been in south america doing bizzness in columbia.
Burt Rutan is the embodiment of the American spirit.

in re-entry why dont they just use jet rockets to slow the space craft down and so it does not burn up?

@highmountain0 Because that would be much, much heavier.
Don’t understand how the plane broke up if it can enter atmosphere at any angle.
