NASA Abort Ends Fastest Plane Sprint Over Pacific
NASA aborted a record bid when the Pegasus rocket to launch the X-43A jet went off course and was destroyed 51 seconds after release from a B-52. The plan aimed for Mach 7 hype, with the air-breathing scramjet flight failing over the Pacific off California. NASA plans a data-driven reflight as teams study the mishap to attempt the test again later.
