"One of the most remarkable accomplishments in our conquest of gravity." – Sir Arthur C. Clarke In April, 2003, a company called Scaled Composites introduced Space Ship One to the world. Space Ship One: An Illustrated History chronicles the development of the world’s first commercial manned space program-aprogram that includes an airborne launcher (the White Knight), a space ship (Space Ship One), rocket propulsion, avionics, simulator, and full ground support. With ample illustrations, photographs, and behind-the-scenes information, Space Ship One provides a full picture of this classified project. The story of Space Ship One combines the adventurous spirit of Charles Lindbergh, the entrepreneurial drive of Howard Hughes, and the urgency of the space race at the height of the Cold War.
