SpaceShipOne made it to space and back today, the first of two flights that will (knock wood) win it the Ansari X Prize. My new hero is pilot Michael Melvill, who not only refused to abort as the ship rolled, but who claims the problem was pilot error. I'm not sure I believe him, but I'm thrilled that he's okay and that he made sure that SS1 was The Little Ship That Could.
Current music: self singing under my breath to the tune of Johnny B Goode "Go, go! Go, rocket, go!"
