NASA was able to launch the Aries X-1 today. It looks like it all worked the way that it was supposed to. It'll be interesting to see over the next few weeks what type of data they got out of it. It'll be even more interesting to see if the Obama administration scuttles the program.
In other news, the FAA has revoked the two pilots' licenses that overshot their intended destination last week by about 150 miles as they were apparently to busy playing Team Fortress on their laptops instead of, you know, landing the frakking aircraft. Good grief.

I think Barry's still going to kill off the space program. We can't allow the U. S. to take the lead in anything. He'd rather see the ChiComms become the dominant spacefaring nation.
As to the two recently unemployed pilots, they were either asleep (very likely), unconscious (unlikely), joining the gay mile-high club (plausible), or both so engrossed in working on their laptops that they didn't notice the increasingly urgent radio calls and the insistent beeping from the FMS and the NWA messaging system (very unlikely).
A quick check of their laptops (to determine file access times) would answer the question.
I'm telling you I bet they were hooked into the plane's wireless and they were either surfing the porn or they were running around and trying to shoot each other in some First Person Shooter.
