I agree. This is very cool. But what's this about a record? The Germans were flying rocket-powered planes during WWII, and I'd be surprised if one of those guys didn't come down someplace other than their home field; crashes due to enemy action not withstanding.

It was a record for that WEIGHT class of rocket powered craft. Plus the X-cor rocketplane can shut down and restart it's engines midair.
Just 12 miles south of Mojave Spaceport.
It would make an nice B/G - R/G.
