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

    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.

    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.

    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.
