Not a problem, no worries.
SS1 achieved a top speed of Mach 3.04, or 818 meters per second. Orbit is about 6500 meters per second at a minimum.
That is a ton faster, and Scaled Composites is apparently going to try for that with Space Ship 3 or Space Ship 4, about a decade or so down the road.

Sorry, you are right - it is a sub-orbital craft. I read your post too quickly.

I don't recall it ever making it to orbit Harrison. Or even coming close.

OK - we now have a taco-eating alien.

It appears you and I are the only ones who get the satire on the "aliens".....
