TEXT IPRIVATE CRAFT SOARS INTO SPACEMOJAVE, California (CNN) – The man who became the first person to pilot a privately built craft into space called his flight “almost a religious experience” after his safe landing Monday morning. Test pilot Mike Melvill landed at Mojave Airport, about 80 miles north of Los Angeles, California, after taking the rocket plane SpaceShipOne to an altitude of more than 100 kilometers (62.5 miles) – the internationally recognized boundary of space. “Looking from the Earth up there, you know, it’s almost a religious experience. It’s an awesome thing to see. You can see the curvature of the Earth. SpaceShipOne lifted off early Monday morning in the Mojave Desert, carried by the jet White Knight. As the pair approached 50,000 feet, SpaceShipOne decoupled from the jet. After a brief glide, Melvill ignited the spacecraft’s engines and ascended into space at Mach 3, three times the speed of sound. Melvill said once he reached weightlessness, he opened a bag of M&M’s in the cockpit, and the candies floated for three minutes while the ship soared high above California. The spacecraft returned safely, but control problems revealed after the flight forced Melville to cut it short and use a backup system to keep SpaceShipOne under control. Melville said trim surfaces on SpaceShipOne – movable surfaces on the craft’s wings – jammed during supersonic flight. The craft rolled 90 degrees twice during its vertical ascent and veered more than 20 miles off course in a few seconds. The flight marks the pinnacle so far of Burt Rutan’s vision of affordable, safe, private space travel. Rutan’s company, Scaled Composites, built SpaceShipOne with financial backing from Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft Corp., for a little more than $ 20 million. Rutan said the flight, which went from a concept in 1995 to reality less than a decade later, was the realization of a long dream. “I’m so proud of that, it brings tears to my eyes,” he said. “That’s why we are so good at what we do,” Melvill said. “We cover all the bases.”
B) It is the first aircraft piloted by a man. C) It is a private plane which soared into space sent by NASA. D) It is the first private rocket plane which soared into space. E) It is a craft sent to space by NASA.
TEXT IIANGER MOUNTS AS RUSSIA MOURNSBESLAN, Russia (CNN) – Russians are observing two days of national mourning as anger mounts over the government´s handling of a school hostage siege that left more than 330 people dead. Nearly every family in the southern Russian town of Beslan was grieving Monday as the grim task of burying the dead continued. About 120 funerals were planned in the town cemetery and adjoining fields, following about 20 on Sunday. Among the first to be buried were Zinaida Kudziyeva, 42, and her 10-year-old daughter, Madina. The two had tried to flee when the first explosions went off and were caught in the crossfire between militants and Russian forces, relatives said. “They couldn’t run away. They didn’t have time,” The associated Press quoted Irakly Khosulev, a relative from the nearby city of Vladikavkaz, as saying. “Someone should answer for this.” Meanwhile, residents, politicians and even Russian state television raised questions about the massacre. The Interfax news agency said two politicians – liberal Irina Khakamada and nationalist Sergei Glazyev – have issued separate calls for an independent investigation into the crisis. Vladimir Ryzhkov, an independent member of the Duma, wrote in the Nezavisimaya daily: “(Putin) won the contract (as president) to restore order in the country, to ensure security for people. We see today that the contract has been violated.” Officials appealed for calm in the volatile Caucasus region, which includes Chechnya, Ingushetia and North Ossetia, where the attack took place. Chechen rebels have been fighting Russia for independence for a decade. The official death toll on Monday stood at 335, plus the 30 attackers; the regional health ministry said 326 of the dead had been hostages, and the Emergency Situations Ministry said 156 of the dead were children. Many of the dead had not been identified, with some bodies charred beyond recognition; the ITAR-Tass news agency said Monday that about 60 would need DNA analysis. Putin, the president of Russia, visited the wounded in Beslan over the weekend and made a surprising admission of Russian weakness in the face of terrorists. “We couldn’t adequately react,” he told the nation in a weekend televised address. “We showed weakness, and weak people are beaten.” http://edition.cnn.com/2004/world/europe/09/06/russia.school/index.html. 14.
