Yeah, especially when SS1 appeared to go into an uncontrolled roll and

For those that might have missed it, we have entered a new era in the 
space age. Private Astronautics.
Space Ship One made it's first of two required shots into space this 
morning from the Mohave Desert.

I have Pictures. Screencaps from the webcast.
