Unveiling the private spaceship

The Goddard, the technology testbed for the suborbital passenger-carrying spaceship being built by Jeff Bezos' company, Blue Origin, has been unveiled on video. Bezos, founder of Amazon.com, has been keeping his plans as quiet as possible, but has now released clips of his test vehicle's first flight on November 13, 2006. The heritage from the successful McDonnell-Douglas DC-X test vehicle will be apparent to space buffs.
