Now for something NON political

Yes, the Democratic convention is still going on in Boston and there is lots of news about it and what people are saying.  We also link to a lot of blogs that are doing a very good job covering the convention from many angles.

This news is exciting and coming soon. 

Aerospace pioneer Burt Rutan announced at a press conference at the Santa Monica Airport on Tuesday that his SpaceShipOne team will make a bid to win the $10 million Ansari X Prize with flights between late September and mid-October from Mojave, California.

It will be exciting to watch the flights and hope they do go well. I also want to see the next generation (yeah I'm already looking for version 2) which will not be a sub-orbital machine but rather a private space launch to put a person into orbit.
