Badass song for a badass rocketplane. Great video, too bad they didn't have today's camera technology back then, would've been nice to see more footage from space or while going Mach 6 through the stratosphere. Is Neil Armstrong in this somewhere?
Every time I watch that landing I clench my teeth, it looks pretty rough on the airframe. I saw one video in which the engine flamed out and the pilot couldn't jettison the fuel for some reason, and he had to land heavy. The planed plopped down so hard the fuselage buckled in the middle, but the bird continued to roll out and the guy walked away from it.
