Dispatch from Blackrock

Seven runs to the edge of space in four days! We had over 200,000 viewers, hundreds of live images posts and tweets to the vehicles in flight and very jazzed partners. Recovery teams are still in the field heading for the last three vehicles. The team is dead tired (1:30 am starts, 10pm completions five days in a row), but completely pumped. We have lots of great new friends from Japan and a greatly stretched and expanded capability set. I’m off to recover one of the recovery 4wds that had to be abandoned in a particularly challenging canyon. More news as access allows.

    A great show, Team!! Well done. I watched it all on the internet feed. Looks like a couple of hiracks landed in some pretty inaccessable spots. Don’t lose that 4-wheeler…

    This makes 14 flights total in the last three months. Over 1 million feet of vertical all together! More vertical than the orbit of the International Space Station. Congratulations!
