Flying Model Rocket Launch Set, 1/30 Scale of the X PRIZE Competition Spacecraft.
The actual
SpaceShipOne was first flown on 9/29/2004 and again on 10/4/2004. I
t won the US million Ansari X Prize, by reaching 100 kilometers in altitude twice in a two-week period with the equivalent of three people on board and with no more than ten percent of the non-fuel weight of the spacecraft replaced between flights.
SpaceShipOne
was the first private manned mission to space, and the dream of Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) and Burt Ratan (designer of the record-breaking Voyager, which in 1986 was the first plane to fly around the world without stopping or refueling, and the Virgin Atlantic GlobalFlyer, which in 2006 set the world record for the fastest (342 mph/551 km/h in 67 hours) and longest (25,766 miles/41,466 km) nonstop non-refueled circumnavigation flight in history.)
