Just in case it doesn't make it to the nightly news.
I don't have a lot of time tonight, so I'm going to share a little tidbit I caught on Google news today.
This, in my opinion, is the kind of thing that REALY makes America special. Not our flag, not our effecient and humane Internal Revenue Service, not even NASA. Here's what we do best. We take risks. In this guys case, about half a billion dollars worth of risk. The first link is to a news story, the seconed is to the home page of Bigelow Aerospace. Don't miss the part about "Americas Space Prize".(link three) And don't think it can't be done, Burt Rutan is building the space craft right now.
Cool stuff.
Have a nice night everyone.

And it's actually up there. One step closer to living on a small planet somerwhere in the vicinty of Betelgeuse. Dad
Actually, it's one step closer to allowing aging baby-boomers the opportunity to dump their kids inheritance for a few days in orbit, dad!
If it makes you feel beter, I've always thought you were from Betelgeuse...
