Join us for fine food and drink and the opportunity to hear Burt Rutan,
founder of Scaled Composites, LLC, and developer of SpaceShipOne,
the recent winner of the Ansari X-Prize and Collier Trophy. On October 4,
2004, SpaceShipOne rocketed into history as the first private manned
spacecraft to exceed an altitude of 328,000 feet twice within the span of a
14 day period, thus claiming the $10 million X-Prize and heralding the
beginning of civilian space travel.

This extraordinary evening will include:
- Opportunity to meet Burt Rutan and other members of his team

  barnstorming to space flight

  "Remove Before Flight"
