Just Picture It: SpaceShipOne

I went to Washington, DC this past September (2008), and spent a long time in the National Air & Space Museum.  I was very impressed by all of it, of course – I’m very enthralled by space technology and exploration.  But I have to say that SpaceShipOne is one of the most meaningful things in that museum, to me at least.  In my mind the accomplishments of the people behind that craft are one of the best things to happen to space exploration and technology in general in a long time.  It’s very exciting, all in all.
