Man, that spacecraft is just facinating to look at just sitting on the runway. A work of art in my mind.
Soooooo. The question is, would you be a passenger if you could?
Personally, I probably would. I *used* to fantasize about riding the Shuttle into orbit. Even after watching a couple launches. But then I saw one on re-entry on night. It's glide path taking it about 30 degrees above the horizon. The thing was travelling so fast and was so hot the plasma was bright enough for me to cast a shadow. That pretty much put an end to any desire I had to go up in one.
But SpaceShipOne is a different story, just a straight up shot and back down. Perhaps....
Oh - BTW - nice page Denim. I'm quite envious. :-)
