SpaceShipOne Retires.
The record-setting SpaceShipOne is due to arrive in its final resting place, the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum (NASM) in Washington DC.
The suborbital rocket plane, designed by Burt Rutan and his Scaled Composites team, made two piloted trips into space to snag the $10 million Ansari X-Prize.
SpaceShipOne is to be displayed in the museum’s Milestones of Flight Gallery, according to a NASM spokesman.
Oh sure, yet another reason to return to the Smithsonian.
