This guy manages to get great coverage of everything going on at Mojave, and most of the flights by Scaled Composites. In case you guys werent already aware, Scaled has also just built a newer-better version of the 1980's voyager aircraft for steve fosset to make a solo around the world flight.


This - is so damn cool.

#5 Well, I'm glad the government is giving their permission for private citizens to finance and build their own rockets for space flight.

I appreciate it, Big Brother. Can I have permission to wipe my ass now?

#8 Muck you may be right on this one. I tried to teach the cats the in and outs of a water recovery in the "big shower" but theey was always angry and not thinking properly. I had more success with the get the kitten by the chin and spin it on the floor g force simulator but I've yet to find a proper sized cat that could stand more than about 20 rpm. (sigh)
