History is Happening
For those of you who have not heard, Spaceship One made a successful sub-orbital flight today.
Translation: a private group – not a government – sent a human being into space today.
Now, if we can just keep the Vogon Fleet at bay, we’ll be okay.

Wow that’s a bargain. Couldn’t be Haliburton..
That Vogon link was a hoot.

Actually… a private – not a government – group sent a human into space… for less than $30 million.
Just to put that in perspective, a brand spanking new 747 costs around $200 million. An F-15E fighter/bomber will cost you about $50 million. And the jackpot for the Texas State Lottery was $145 million last week.

Please include in my package: towels, peanuts and beer.
Oh MY, that brings back some memories!
