Rocket racers fly in Tulsa from RLV and Space Transport News
The first flight demo of the two X-racers seemed to go well. Bit hard from the webcast to get a sense of what it would look like from the ground. Mostly we saw four camera views from the vehicle.
They flew fairly high in this first public exhibition. Peter Diamandis said they will refuel and re-fly again in an hour or so. They will fly a bit lower and in a more coordinated pattern this time. The long term plan is to gain experience with the vehicles and fly closer and closer to the ground in future exhibitions. ...
