XCOR Test Flight Live
Darrin Kagan announced at the top of the hour that CNN will broadcast live the latest test flight of the XCOR EZ-Rocket sometime between 8 and 9 PST (i.e., within the next half hour, though it may be delayed).
[Update 8:53 AM PST]
Apparently they're sorting out some engine problems, so there's a flight delay. Still expected to go, though according to announcements. They've been taking the opportunity to interview Dick Rutan on other current aviation-related events (i.e., recent military plane crashes). Unfortunately, they're also covering the "rink-rage" trial. Now there's a pressing story...
[12:25 PST Update]
Sorry for the delay--I had to run out for a dental appointment. Apparently the burn went well, but they didn't broadcast it live--CNN thought that Ari's press conference was more important. I've heard that they've been showing tape replays of it, however.
And here's a link to the story at the CNN website.
