Just watched from the ops center at work. Pretty cool stuff, especially the telemetry video from the space craft.

While the rocket was firing, CNN was showing commercials. :rolleyes:

This is a lot more exciting than NASA these days, and Rutan is following a course well suited for a permanent presence (i.e. cheap).

I think it's fantastic.

Rutan is in a class of his own.

Could they have come up with a more gay name than SpaceShipOne though?

Sounds like a disney ride from the 60's.

Anyway, Rutan et al.

I sent them an email, about changing the name. My pick was Enterprise ncc1701 1/4
however they have yet to reply back.


On a more serious note I was flipping between all the majore news channels and all they were doing was STILL talking about the prison abuse scandel. Sad very sad. Even when something amazing and good happens they still prefer the dark depressing stories wich they beat to death.

Spaceshipone and crew!!
