Being lens-shy just doesn't cut it in today's camera-crazed world. Chances are, during a good part of your day, there's a camera nudging into your private space.

World's first private manned space
flight 06/19/2004 04:53 PM

I am quite excited about Mondays flight that if it succeeds will result in a significant event in manned spaceflight. The first ever successful private launch into space. I am sure their will be Television coverage of the launch and being I am laid up in bed recovering I will definitely be tuned in.

My dad who does not follow these types of things closely was even aware of the launch and he posed a question to my Mom if she would pay to go. Her answer was no but the speculated correctly that I would jump at the chance. I am hoping that in my lifetime it will be affordable to view the earth from space. This frontier has been limited to the chosen ones and to think we are on the doorstep of opening manned spaceflight to regular Joe's and Janes.

Some of you have read Science Fiction books where people travel to other solar systems spending a lifetime doing so forever leaving the bounds of earth. I wonder in my mind how far we are away from doing this. I am sure someday someone will be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice for the chance of a one way trip to the outer reaches of the solar system. Obviously we have a long way to go in that propulsion systems that have yet to be invented would be needed to push a spacecraft to the velocities needed to achieve such a thing. Pushing ones imagination you would have to raise children in space to continue the mission as the original crew would never make it in a lifetime. Probably to far fetched to consider but if the human race makes it another 1000 years imagine the possibilities. [w ww.scaled.com]

Scaled Composites Plans First Private
Space Shot 06/02/2004 01:36 PM

Scaled Composites, the X-Prize competitor funded by Microsoft mogul Paul Allen, and led by aviation uber-genius Burt Rutan, has scheduled a test flight that, if successful, will be the first space launch in history by the private sector.

SpaceShipOne will rocket to 100 kilometers (62 miles) into sub-orbital space above the Mojave Civilian Aerospace Test Center, a commercial airport in the California desert. If successful, it will demonstrate that the space frontier is finally open to private enterprise. This event could be the breakthrough that will enable space access for future generations.

This flight won't qualify for the X-Prize since the prize stipulates that you have to take 3 people to space, instead of just one. It is likely, however, a preliminary flight to get ready for a shot at the prize, and the precursor to commercial space travel. One of the reasons that the Mojave Airport is on its way to being licensed by the FTC as the world's first commercial spaceport. We have spaceports now! My jet-pack and flying car must not be far behind!

He suggests that, with so many visual messages being targeted at us every day as we walk around, personal music players allow people to reclaim their personal space by putting their own soundtrack on it, and letting it match their own preferences and mood, while also blocking out certain elements of the outside.
