You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

As the Klingons would say, "k'plagh!" (or however the hell it's supposed to be rendered in the Roman alphabet). If SpaceShipOne's developers' numbers are to be believed, the first manned non-government flight to 100 km was a huge success.<br><br>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/natu ... r>Congrats to Burt Rutan and the boys!<br><br>Robert M.
