Vang says he was approached by Terry Willers, a co-owner of the property, who asked him to leave and then radioed friends in a cabin nearby. Vang says that as he was leaving the area, the others arrived, surrounded him and taunted him with racial insults. When he finally was able to walk about 100 ft. away, he says, Willers, the only one of the group Vang saw with a rifle, fired a shot, which...

...test pilot Brian Binnie each had a good four minutes of weightlessness with nothing to do. Both took digital-camera snapshots through the portholes. Melvill scattered a handful of M&M's and watched them float. Binnie took out a tiny model of SpaceShipOne and flew it around the cabin. Then that crazy hinge raises the wings, Earth's gravity kicks in, and SpaceShipOne becomes a glider. "It's like falling into a feather bed," says Melvill...
