Mojave Magic: A Turtle's Eye View of SpaceShipOne, shot on location at the remote Mojave Airport, documents the historic flights of SpaceShipOne, including the first privately-funded human spaceflight on June 21, 2004 and the two subsequent flights on September 29 and October 4, 2004 that won the $10-million Ansari X Prize.
