SpaceShipOne

Well, SpaceShipOne has completed half of its requirement for the X-Prize competition, albeit with a few more barrel-rolls than intended. This is great news, if you ask me. The US space program has stalled for the past thirty years (how many kids dream of being astronauts anymore?) and this is the swift boot that it needs.

Glenn Reynolds has interesting thoughts on this over at Tech Central Station. As usual, I think he's hit the nail on the head.

I hope this is just the beginning. To paraphrase Prince on the Batman soundtrack, "I've seen the future and it will be..." SpaceShipOne?
