As I sit here watching the news we are getting some good film of the first private space shot, as Spaceship one lifts off for an attempt at the 10 million dollar x-prize. I get a buzz from this sort of thing and enjoy aviation and space related stuff, and the fact that this is a private venture rather than a military of Government flight makes it so much more enjoyable, for me it harks back to the 50's and 60's when many different shapes took the air to see what could be done, a period when the UK still tried to see what was possible. I wish them every success.
