history in the making
17:15
As I am writing, I have a little webcast going from BBC showing SpaceShipOne just now landing. Piloted by Mike Melvill, it reached over 100km (62 miles) and became the first non-governmental plane in space, and earning Mike a place in history as the first civillian to earn his astronaut's wings. How cool is that. Grainy, small, with intermittent audio, yet I saw it, and that is the important thing. I witnessed history!Mojave Airport can now also call itself a spaceport. The first commercial spaceport!
