    Yeah, we should start a "Send Carson Back to Outerspace" fund. :wink:

    I dunno, I'm kinda meh about the whole thing. This is a LONG way from a useful space vehicle.

    Very cool. I really like the involvement I've seen from private enterprise that seems to have been spurred by the X Prize competition.

    Time will probably show that this was one of the single most important steps in human history. Imagine, individual citizens able to leave the confines of the planet without the massive mobilization of national power. It is truly amazing and will change the future of humanity.
