Most people have no idea how difficult and complex the production and machining of titanium is. This video goes into detail about the development of this material for the SR-71 project. One of the interesting problems they faced was seasonal failure of spot welds, after data showed it was only occurring in summer. They eventually traced it to chemical additions at their local water treatment plant.

One of our team members captured this inspiring photo of SpaceShipTwo gliding past the Moon as she came in to land at the Mojave Spaceport after another successful test flight. This was her 24th glide flight and the 6th in-flight test of her patented feathered re-entry system. The flight also successfully verified SS2's nitrous loading and venting system, another key milestone on the way to our first powered flight. All of the test objectives were successfully met..
