how do you differentiate a missile, a rocket and something that's supposed to carry people?

i wish they'd make faster commercial flights already.

A missile has the word, nuts written on it.
A rocket has nuts flying in it.
Something that has passengers, the people have to pay for nuts and snacks.

"During the test in May, it flew for a total of 200 seconds before breaking up."

Will it cost more for a flight that doesn't break up?

Sounds really interesting.
I can already hear the people complaining about the Sonic Boom.

Mike,

It already happened with the Concord(e?) but not enough interests so they had to shut it down.

I always love seeing experimental aircraft getting hauled up for launch by the venerable ol' BUFF.

Don't you think it would be worth the extra cash to live an extra, say, 400, seconds?

I thought they were supposed to have one of these on display at the air show that I am going to in Oshkosh next week.....

Just a guess, but I'm sure the transponder has something to do with it.

By how long you have to wait on line to get in it.

Have fun slogging through the mud Aaron

I saw some shots on the local news and it does not look pretty.

The aircraft should be neat though!
