Wow Big Daddy!!!!! Where do you always find this weird shit? I had no idea that this stuff was even being attempted. Perhaps I should get out a little more often. Great post and very interesting....as you stated.

FOR Big Daddy and others

Hey Big Daddy found some pics I thought you might find "interesting"

First pic is from Space Ship One looking at the earth.

Second is of the Sun through some special filter

The last one is way AWSOME, A volcano in Iceland with the Aurora behind it. Spectacular!!!!!!!!!

I heard about this on TechTV a while back, it's pretty cool! Too bad it's craptacular G4-TechTV now. No more good stuff like this on there.

Ya, that is really cool. My dad got to se it in the hanger a few days before it flew. The White Knight (the plane that towed space ship one) is actually the aircraft that will be used in the X-37 project that my dad is working on. Burt Ratan is one smart guy.

I love aircrafts and all flight vehicles in general. It is fascinating.
I'm very attracted to the idea of doing that too.
