Doesn’t look like they will be good to go on the Wright Brothers’ 100th, which had been touted as a target date. This is a particular disappointment to me, as it would have made a nice birthday present.

Congratulations to them!
I visited XCOR a couple of years ago. Here are a couple of photos of one of their testbed vehicles in a hangar:

Wild applause from this quarter. Nothing else to say. What else is there? Congratulations to everyone else.

The company that might be targetting the anniversary is Scaled Composites, not XCOR.
I have no idea of the state of play of SC’s submissions. I know of a bit of behind the scenes things that went on; I presume they have prepared one.
At the current flight test rate I’d not think they could go suborbital in 4 weeks though. We might see them do a drop test and light the engine.
Or they might surprise me. Like I’ve said before, I’d not mind a surprise Christmas present.
