This is amazing! It wasn't a flight that will qualify for the X-Prize, but I have no doubt that Rutan will win it.

Date: 2004-06-21 09:23 am (UTC)I've been dreaming of things like this happening. Since I was a kid of 5 watching the moon landing, we've been promised that someday everyone would be able to go to space....
Leave it to Burt Rutan to pull it off. /grin
I don't think they need any network engineers though... ;)
