Space!
In case you just missed it ... SpaceShipOne successfully made the second trip into space. Here's a hasty montage of a few snapshots from the BBC News Online realplayer stream of the event ... fuzzy and indistinct, at times it looked like the craft was inverted. Later, it appeared to be in a dogfight with the White Knight launcher and a random fighter.
All incredibly cool ... and suddenly Virgin Galactic doesn't seem like a crazy idea after all.

I was invited to see the event (fly in and out before/after), but sadly I had to work.
sigh.
