Negative. Single pilot and it has landing gear.  :)
I got the deluxe kit, it had a solar cell and a meter.

Nope! Next clue. The record it holds is unique and still stands today, decades after it was set.  ;D

Well done phxmark!

If I may, I have one.

Hint: It is somewhat related to the last one....

Apologies for the poor resolution phone pic... ::)

Looks like maybe an old missile control PCB  from 1960s maybe ?

You have the right decade and the right industry (aerospace) - but not from a missle...

Ok, ok - maybe a bit obscure but I couldn't help myself after the previous post.

It is the electronics board from a camera able to take a 6" X 6 " resolution photo (identify a person's face from 15 miles away!) from 80,000 feet while moving at Mach 3!  Any guesses what vehicle carried it?

You got it.  We recently were at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in OR where they have one on display (they also a full scale mock up of the X15).  It blows me away that this was built in the 1960s.  My dad worked on the electronics design of the plane's inertial navigation system.

Yup! I was there June of 2008 about a week or two after they had just opened the new space museum across the parking lot from the air museum. They were still hanging planes from the cranes etc. No pylons blocking off the SR-71 so I was able to get up close and personal to it.  :)

And done almost entirely with analog electronics!

Which reminds me, have you guys seen this:
