SpaceShipOne triumphant! plus the countdown continues...

SpaceShipOne made its second flight today, successfully to all appearances. I have not yet heard if the verifications have all been done to give it official status as the X Prize winner, but at last check it looked promising. Kudos to the team, once again. It is an accomplishment of which to be proud.

I am on my own trajectory towards liftoff to Ann Arbor, in less than 48 hours now. I am very excited! One of the best parts of this whole endeavor for me has been getting back in touch with friends, including many whom I will not see this trip. It is good to have made the connection, even if we cannot meet in person at this time. I love you all, if you're reading (and even if you're not!), and I'm looking forward to seeing you again, if not this week, then sometime!
