CNN.com - Private craft soars into space, history - Jun 21, 2004
Test pilot Mike Melvill landed at Mojave Airport, about 80 miles north of Los Angeles, California, after taking the rocket plane SpaceShipOne to an altitude of more than 100 kilometers (62.5 miles) -- the internationally recognized boundary of space.
Melvill told reporters he had "a hell of a view from 62 miles."
"The colors were pretty staggering from up there," he said.
This will be the start of a new revolution. The world is going to change greatly in the coming times for teh better and for the worse in many different ways. Hopefully we will live to see some of the amazing creations that we are about to start creating. I can't wait to see things begin. Space will be reachable for you and I. Insignificant in many manners...ultra significant in others. Space though...you and I will exist for some part of our times in space.
