OT: Burt Rutan's Space Plane Breaks Sound Barrier |
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/3330595.stm
The sound barrier has been breached by a privately built rocket-plane,
the first time it has been done without government help.
Scaled Composites of California flew their SpaceShipOne rocket-plane at
Mach 1.2 to an altitude of 68,000 ft.
The company is run by Burt Rutan, who was behind the Voyager aircraft
that flew non-stop around the world without refuelling in 1986.
Analysts say that SpaceShipOne could reach space on a mission next year...

This story is not as interesting now that I realized that says
"Rutan's" and not "Reynold's."

Yeah, they're losing out on the MAACO endorsement.

October 2001 Taliban supreme leader, Mullah Mohammed Omar: "The
situation where we are now, there are two things: either death or
victory. To those who are fighting and bombarding us, they should
understand the Afghan man is a fighter willing to die for jihad."
June 1944 General George S. Patton: "I want you to remember that no
***** ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the
other poor dumb ***** die for his country..."
