SpaceShipOne made it!

You beat me to it ! :laugh: This really is a step forward, showing that by applying (comparitively) modest techniques they got the job done. I just hope the pilot sobers up to make it back up there within the two week limit for the second trip :laugh: Elaine (trekkie fluffy tigress) The tigress is here :-D

Monday’s test flight represented a step toward winning the $10 million Ansari X Prize, which would be awarded to the first team to send a spaceship carrying a pilot and the weight of two passengers to an altitude of 100 kilometers twice within two weeks. This flight won’t qualify for the prize, because SpaceShipOne carried only Melvill. Rutan said he had hoped to start a 60-day countdown toward an X Prize attempt within a matter of days... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5261571/[^] ----------------------------------------------------- Bush To Iraqi Militants: 'Please Stop Bringing It On' - The Onion "Moore's prominent presence in the news brings to light some serious questions, such as 'Can't he at least try to look presentable?'" - The Onion

Damn straight! Without those pigs we wouldn't be here today and would instead be debating the merits of Elephant Ear leaves over Thistles for toilet paper. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."
