from landing at a speed of still over 3 times the sound of

 

speed, thos e who wish to watch now to a telementry

 

graphic of its path, 15 mins away from entering the first

 

of earths gravity, 2 sonic sound barriers will crack over

Well, that was fantastic to watch such an historic moment. Thanks for all your input & effort on covering the flight, John. Reminds me a bit of watching the first moon landing.

 

Cheers, Willie.
