Mojave Magic: A Turtle's Eye View of SpaceShipOne, shot on location at the remote Mojave Airport, documents the historic flights of SpaceShipOne, including the first privately funded human spaceflight on June 21, 2004, and the two subsequent flights on September 29 and October 4, 2004, that won the $10-million Ansari X Prize. The DVD includes the popular song, "I Want To Go In A Space Ship", honoring SpaceShipOne, Burt Rutan and the two civilian astronauts, Mike Melvill and Brian Binnie.
In addition to the flights themselves, the documentary includes:

- Comments from Mike Melvill from atop SpaceShipOne immediately after landing.
- Post-X Prize celebration hosted by X Prize Foundation chairman Dr. Peter Diamandis with comments from Burt Rutan, Paul Allen, Brian Binnie and Sir Richard Branson.
