I don't usually speak out "causes" on my journal. never really thought about it much. But this is one that I think deserves attention.

SpaceshipOne is going up again. Unlike most folks that believe that NASA is simply a waste of money and that it should be dismantled, I personally think it still serves a few very good purposes. however, I think that it has gotten stagnant. There is no reason we can't have both a civilian and a military/government presence. I think that the civilian one will actually force NASA to get with the program and provide us with the leadership that it used to.

I think that NASA is being strangled by government as opposed to nourished by it. But nevertheless, its a good thing.

But the real point of this is for you to go read about this initiaitve and the fact that its about to reach its goal. Its a testimony to the human spirit in many ways.

Ever reaching for the stars.....
