Handicapped by having to watch the idiotic news coverage, with no internet handy. As far as I know, nobody covered the press conference at all, and I had to switch between cable news stations to keep up. The commentators did their usual butting in to tell us what Rutan and others just said, sometimes even interrupting comments in progress. Sometimes I wish I had a button connected to 600 volt crotch electrodes.

Fortunately, Aviation Week will cover this in excruciating detail for me to read at my leisure.

Burt apparently watched tail-boom-camera coverage live. I assume this will be released eventually.
