Space! How low can ya go?
I’m sure The Gax is salivating all over himself, wherever he is - as of this writing it looks like private spacetravel is becoming reality, as SpaceShipOne has safely detached and is entering the upper atmosphere. That’s right, soon, space travel will no longer be a journey taken solely by scientists, rich people, and irritating former boy band members, but by everyday schmucks like you and me. I won’t hesitate to mention that the little geek in me is doing backflips over this concept.
Ok, it’s a big geek. But you get the idea. And granted, as of right now there’s really nowhere for the average man to go, no specific destination…but still…space. Just take in the concept, let out a Keanu-like “whoa”…then get back to work, slacker.
UPDATE: SS1 is back on the ground already. It’s almost like a comedy sketch - look kids, Big Ben, Parliment!

Private space flight rules. I’m all for it.
HP&POA was OKAY. I liked the last one better.
I feel kind of dirty saying this, but that Hermione chick is going to be a hottie.

Lots of eye candy, not a lot of story.

The choice for Hermione is damned uncanny. I agree with you on the potential hottie, but after what happens in book 4, if that pans out, it will be damn near serendipetous.

I haven’t read the books. So I have no idea what you’re talking about. And I’m not likely to read them either. So what happens? She casts a spell and gets an enormous rack?

Uh, no. That’s probably the subject of one of those wierd fan stories written by a net pornster, however.
The books are actually pretty good. Reading is fun for mentals, you know.

So Hermione was in a private spacecraft or something? What is going on here? I knew they had that old flying car or whatever, but I guess I need to get with it.

Hard to believe that space travel comes so cheap (only $20 million, is that right?). Makes ya wonder what NASA is doing wrong.
