>Hi Reddit!
>
>I have flown a lot of weird looking planes, even riding on top of one like a jockey rides a horse. I love to build things, and I still fly a home built plane (a Long-EZ) I made many decades ago. You can read about me in a new book called How to Make a Spaceship, by Julian Guthrie.

>EDIT2: Sorry for the delay - Mike is now dictating his answers via a helper and will do his best to get to as many as possible!

>EDIT3: Thank you all for your questions. Mike initially had trouble logging in and did his best to answer as many as he could. We are hoping once the login issue is resolved he can jump on to continue answering. Again, many thanks for the questions and interest. Cheers!

>Good morning, Reddit!
>This is Burt Rutan here to answer your questions. While I am best known for just those two projects, I am known in aviation circles for an unprecedented list of 45 other research aircraft developed by the two companies I founded and ran over a 43-year career.
>My first company, Rutan Aircraft Factory, also developed 14 other research aircraft and marketed plans for five of them so individuals could build their own personal airplanes. Or, you may, know me because my small team at my second company, Scaled Composites in the Mojave Desert covertly developed an entire Manned Space Program, and flew three of the world’s five manned space flights in 2004. You can read about me at burtrutan.com, or in a new book, How to Make a Spaceship, by Julian Guthrie. "Black Sky”, an award-winning 2004 documentary by Discovery TV described our private, non-Government space program.
