SpaceShip One first flight

Today I took a break at work to watch SpaceShipOne’s first flight to space. It was awesome, so awesome that I didn’t pay importance to its spinning (duly noted by my boss, who was also watching).

Luckily, everything went ok and Mike Melvill came back to good ol’ Earth.

Although it is a great achievement for the Space Industry, I was a bit sad. When will I go back to space? Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.
