Hey .... I forgot to ask you.

Did you see the news report today about a California private aerospace
company that has developed a totally re-usable rocket powered "airplane"
that will take off from a regular runway, then climb to just beyond the
atmosphere (something like 37 miles),
then glide back to earth?

First sub-orbital flights are planned in 2010. You can buy a ticket for
100K. They plan to offer several flights a day.

Figured you might want to dust off your checkbook.
