"How much fun was that?! What a unique opportunity to be right there on the 'firing line', so to speak. Talk about up close and personal! These guys act like me in these situations, get as close to the action as the participants will allow. Loved the personal dialogue, made me feel as if I had made the recordings. Great stuff! Here's to more of the same!" -- Daniel Murphy (yet another happy customer)

Join Mike Melvill, the world’s first private astronaut, as he climbs aboard SpaceShipOne in the predawn desert chill. Experience the remote and exotic Mojave Airport, including a late night dance party attended by rocket fans from around the world. And, of course, enjoy the numerous takeoffs, launches, landings and flybys of all the fabulous aircraft involved in this amazing event. Mojave Magic has it all. This piece of history is a “must have” for everyone’s collection.
