A new age has dawned for spaceflight!
According to numerous sources, my favorite being <a target="_blank" href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/10/1004_041004_spaceshipon… Geographic </a>in this case, SpaceShipOne has won the X-Prize. What does that mean? It means that a privately built single-stage-to-orbit spacecraft has been built and successfully launched into space twice within a week. And, if you don't understand the implecations of that, well... Well, I can't imagine anyone who could find this blog on the web and not have some idea what that accomplishment means. Maybe I will see a mission to mars succeed in my lifetime. I might even see extraterrestrial mining. The possibilities are limitless.
Wow.
