Spaceship One has returned successfully! Just saw it on the news! Isn't that great? Score one for Private Enterprise instead of Government Bureaucracy...

As a scientist I'm very glad to see this happen. Had the situation in Iraq not occurred our country might have been able to afford to develop further space explorations.

Paul Allen is also involved in financing SETI work (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence). Now, that's a good way to invest Microsoft money! I'm very excited about the advent of private space travel! Yahoo! Willy
