Brian Binnie

It appears there is not a well-known author named Brian Binnie born in 1953; rather, Brian Binnie (1953–2022) was a U.S. Navy officer and test pilot who became known for his role in commercial spaceflight.

However, he did publish at least one book reflecting on his experiences: The Magic and Menace of SpaceShipOne: A First-Person History of the World’s First Commercial Spaceflights.

If you are interested, I can write a full SEO-style article (biography, legacy, quotes, lessons) for Brian Binnie (the test pilot / spaceflight author) based on his life and work. Do you want me to proceed with that?

If somebody had told me when I was in graduate school, 'Brian, in 35 years you'll get a chance to fly the first commercial spacecraft with no computers,' I'd have said, 'I don't think so. People are not going to be that stupid.'
