People were getting choked up all over the place including the two

To me this was more momentous than the original Mercury flights and
the whole project probably cost less than one of those capsules.

I don't know about more, but it ranks up there.

The flight of SpaceShipOne is the opening of the door to space flight
for industry and the world in a way that could never be approached by
the governments of the world.

To me, it also saids that America still got it. We are still the
inovators. Not just a military bully. It sends a very positive
message.

To me it now makes going to the other planets much more of a
possibility but how long before "Protect the Planets" groups emerge?

I'm gonna form one right now! Just kidding.


I say it's a fantastic job well done!

A big A+.
