NASA had to destroy the X43-A prototype when it had a booster 
malfunction.  Looks like we'll have to wait a little longer for that 
space vacation.  Apparently the problems weren't with the scramjet 
itself...it was never ignited.  X-15 still holds the speed record 
with Mach 6.7.

"The Pegasus went out of control, it appeared parts were breaking off 
of it," said Alan Brown, a National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration spokesman.
