Yep, feet. About 110 kilometres or so.The animation is awesome. I will book a ticket when the price goes down to $20 000 after the first 400 flights as Branson promised.

NASA itself initiated X-prize project, since anti science people are getting voted into US government, who's killing off nasa funding.its politics that got challenger and columbia killed.government wanted to show off shuttle program, so the stressed nasa management.2003 government cuts budget for engineering and management funds so, mismanagement is caused.

Spaceship 1 has already been tested and it worked. I see no reason why this won't work. Congratulations Burt!For the naysayers why don't you go find a nice cave to curl up in.

It is only in space for like 10 minutes. It can't reach orbital velocity (the ISS orbits at ~27500 km/h, and you can't orbit much slower than that.) This only goes a couple thousand. It goes straight up, and then descends. SpaceShipThree will most likely be orbital.
