We'll Fly Away

SpaceShipOne

Wallace at Streams has a wonderful tribute to the Wright brothers' contribution to human kind one hundred years ago. Their plane flew on December 17, 1903, and just yesterday, one hundred years later, SpaceShipOne, whose sponsor is Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, flew Mach 1.2 reaching an altitude of 68,000 feet above the Mojave Desert. Link.

All I can do is just shake my head in wonder at the progress made in the past 100 years and wish I could be here to see what the next 100 years will bring.
