First Manned Private Spaceflight







First Manned Private Spaceflight

First Manned Private Spaceflight 06/23/2004 06:23 AM

Hurrah!  Privately funded by Paul Allen, designed by Burt Rutan, and piloted by Mike Melvill, a 62 year-old test pilot who is now an astronaut, SpaceShipOne successfully reached space and returned safely this morning, the very first manned private spaceflight in history.  Awesome.  With all the doom and gloom these days, it's nice to have something to smile about.

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]

And we thought it was just a load of Soviet propaganda: Buran was pretty sweet Well, no doubt a little bit of industrial espionage helped them in its design, but the Soviet Buran really was an impressive technological achievement and in many ways superior to the United States space shuttle. Of particular interest is the impressive technology the Soviet's developed for heavy-lift boosters. Does anyone know what's become of any of this, or know of any other interesting bits of Soviet -v- American space race trivia? This stuff always fascinates me.

In about 90 minutes, the spacecraft performs a turn to position its heat shield facing the atmosphere. This will not only prepare for entry but also the jettison of the no-longer-needed cruise stage. Separation between the cruise stage and the descent module is expected around 11:44 p.m. EST.

Private Syndication


Private Syndication 02/01/2005 09:44 PM
Over at the ZD BTL space, David Berlind writes good stuff on something I’ve been talking about for a long time, private syndication feeds. My favorite examples have been feeds from my bank account or credit card or stock portfolio, but David has another for people like EBay, who can no longer email their customers because everyone receiving such an email assumes it’s a phishing attempt (it usually is). David wonders if existing RSS-based systems can scale up for mass one-to-one usage; the answer is “yes, obviously”; post-and-poll (as in syndication) is mechanically simpler than store-and-forward (as in email), it’ll scale just fine. One detail: I think that for this kind of content-critical, all-business feed, Atom is a more attractive choice than any of the RSS flavors.
