Boing Boing points out this amazing photo of Rutan’s SpaceShip One X-Prize contender in flight.
I finally feel like I’m living in the future. I still can’t get over how much this thing looks like something out of The Thunderbirds. Large version of picture here.
Wow *blinking* Really wow.
Ever since a Kiwi was the first to fly a heavier than air powered machine [Richard Pierce – circa 1902/3] I have been waiting for someone with vision and guts to attempt a similar flight into outer space, the fantastic team at scaled are set to make universal history, powered by laughing gas and used rubber, where else in this universe could one be so awed!
