As an amateur builder of composite aircraft and a pilot, I really appreciated this documentary that tells a wonderful, true story of positive achievement by people who worked hard to accomplish something significant...without the government having to bless it or pay for it. Rutan has a long history of creating some amazing designs focused on efficiency and demonstrating new limits of small and GA aircraft. But it's also important to celebrate the accomplishment of Mike Melvill in becoming the first civilian astronaut. His uncommon ability and performance has paved the way for the common man to finally be able to touch the black sky too.
