SpaceShipOne, lots of pics I took

Yesterday night I headed off to Mojave, CA for the first civilian flight into space. I woke up at 2:45 am(explains how tired I am) and then drove to Mojave Airport, now called Mojave Spaceport. SpaceShipOne took off at about 6:30, pulled by the White Knight, then after circling for a while, detached from this mothership and proceeded to head 100km into the sky. It was insane to see that thing just launch from the other jet. It was in space for about 3 minutes, then came back down and made a smooth landing. I took a few pics when I was there:

EDIT: It's in another forum now, because I don't really have time to resize them and apparently they don't care how big the pictures are.

Oh, and thanks for the kind words, and the star wars car was a trip!

Great pictures, but they are too large. Please resize them to meet the site's rules (640x480). Thanks.

Wow, that I'd seen pics of that Star Wars themed car elsewhere on the net. Thats cool you got to see it first hand.

That Spaceship One is awesome! I wish I was there for that historic event!
