One-of-a-kind flight-flown ‘Red Bearon’ Beanie Baby, flown aboard flight 17P of Space Ship One on October 4, 2004, piloted by Brian Binnie. The limited edition Ty Beanie Baby, was “born on December 17, 2003,” with serial # 0-08421-40039-3, and is the only Beanie Baby flown aboard SpaceShipOne. Applied to the back of the bear is a label reading “Flown in Space 17P.” This flight achieved an world altitude record of 367,442 feet, or 69.6 miles above the surface of the Earth. Bear was flown for the Rocketboosters charity after being donated by Burt and Tonya Rutan as a gift to the charity, and represents one of just three items that were flown aboard SpaceShipOne available to the public, as personal memorabilia that was flown on the mission cannot be sold. Accompanid by a notarized letter of authenticity signed by Burt and Tonya Rutan stating “Bearon…was a passenger on SpaceShipOne Flight 17P flown by Brian Binnie on Monday, October 4, 2004…Bearon…flown on SpaceShipOne at the request of the Rocket Boosters, a non-profit organization.” Also accompanied by five color photos of Bearon outside and inside of the ship, the original 2004 Ebay auction listing, and another informational sheet, which incorporates a photo of Bearon and two other plush dolls being loaded into a composite ballast box before the flight. After this flight, SpaceShipOne was awarded the Ansari X Prize of ten million dollars, being the first reusable manned spacecraft launched into space within a two week period. A one-of-a-kind, and well-documented, flight-flown memento.
