Default What happened to SpaceShipOne?

6) They [SpaceShip1 backers] are privately funded and feel no need to issue
press releases every time they fly.
True. But somewhere, I read that SS1 has made 13 test flights to date,
[3/24/04]. Apparently it is going well with their program.
Seems like they quite possibly could make the XPrize sub-orb flight to
space before the end of 2004.

Burt Rutan is a patient methodical man.

And, he expects to fly in it himself.
