God at your fingertips

They did it!

For the first time, a private manned craft has gone into space. This is a mind-boggling achievement. China’s launch last year was impressive but to think that a group of people got together and built a reusable spacecraft is positively amazing.

Congratulations to the crew and workers of Scaled Composites. Good luck to the other teams as they ready for their attempts. I can’t wait for the X-Prize flight.
