Well done the boys and girls of SpaceshipOne.

Time to work towards the next goal, which is reaching orbit.

I've started saving my pence now :eek:

It seeems too simple, yet. For that kind of dough, I want at least a full orbit or two.

Oh yeah, I forgot the theme to this forum, so here goes.

I hear Bush is going to use this to attack civilians in Iraq.;)

Yip, just watched the second flight live with my kids..... it was great! Certainly a defining moment in history.

Oh, yeah, and something about Bush and Iraq...

Its about sucking all the oil out of the moon.

It's great. I can see a small personal-spaceship industry forming in the future soon, following all the newly amended space travel laws for the general population.

Of course... provided we don't destroy ourselves before that, or render the economy such that it becomes prohibitive.

Congrats to them. :thumb:

No no no, you've got it all wrong. The moon has secretly been building WMD which they're just itchin' to use against us.
