Dick Rutan is reporting on CNN that SS1's engine shut down prematurely,
but has confirmed that peak altitude was over 100 km.

That's good news - it means it's capable of even higher altitudes.

No, it means that when loaded to full capacity (which this flight
wasn't) the craft will be able to reach it's target altitude.


China lake reported 112km, they did good............(I heard Edwards said
110)


The official tally is 100.124 km. Not so good.
