SpaceShip 1 - South African Connection

Hello, All!

I just learnt that Mike Melville is South African born. That makes the
second South African in space!

Hell I'm proud!

Watch out USA - soon we'll have more astronauts! (Joking)

Ya know, I thought he had a bit of a Southern accent. Just didn't
realize how Southern. :-)

When I was a kid, I thought the angel's name was Hark
and the horse's name was Bob.

Now that will make you think.

Too bad none of the media types pointed out that the first man in space on
a
private launch was African-American!

Yeah, I heard the same thing. Good for him, no matter where he came
from. Hell, if he were born on Mars, I'd still fly across this planet
to kiss his sacred ass.

I know one thing, I'm gonna be there when Mike goes for the X-prize
unless I'm on some God Damn mission somewhere and can't get away.

Now, that's a nice point. Good for you. Good thinking.
