Another nice space transport (an alternate to VG's space tourism concept) funded privately which could help the gap in space access.

NASA - June 21, 1962 - This Week in Dryden's History - X-15 #3
NASA - June 21, 1962
June 21, 1962The dawn of hypersonics. One of my favorite vehicles, the X-15.
During a preflight checkout of X-15 #3, a ground crewman writes in the frost covering its underside "250,000 OR NO ICE CREAM." Maj. Robert White reached only 246,700 feet.

NASA - June 16, 1965
The M2-F2 lifting body arrives by truck at the Flight Research Center. A year would pass before it would make its first flight. After being horribly damaged in a crash landing, it was modified and renamed the "M2-F3."This is one vehicle part of the lifting-body program which paved the way for unpowered lifting body landing, the STS or more commonly known as the Space Shuttle.

Ah, good things are still happening. Just should have had these in place before retiring the SST. I mean come on, we had, what 30 years of service with 40 year old technology....
