Watched the landing, was great.

Not much left in the area of civilian aviation anymore. Wonder what someone will try in the future.

I think the biggest signifigance is that the last 2 major accomplishments in aerospace have been privetly funded and designed by the same people. (the virgin atlantic guy funded the space ship one right??) and Rutan designed both craft.

WTG, I see a trend here.

On Wednesday, Fossett broke the record for the longest nonstop, unrefueled flight by a jet. That particular record — 12,532 miles (20,168 kilometers) — was set by a B-52 bomber in 1962.
