HISTORY IN THE MAKING - VIRGIN GALACTIC'S "ENTERPRISE" TAKES OFF ON ITS MAIDEN VOYAGE

Obama's health care reform stole the headlines, and no network or station gave this sensational breakthrough a BREAKING NEWS priority. But that may be just what the historians will note 100 years from now: Few understood the historic significance of the maiden voyage of the world's first commercial spacecraft with the rather tongue-in-cheek name: VSS Enterprise.


However, I can assure you that in BRENT the date March 22, 2010, will be a commemoration day, a day of celebration. So let us just enjoy the sight of this magnificent pioneering bird, which will carry space tourists out into Near Earth at the rather stiff price of $ 200 000 a pop.


Today is a day that will go down in history. And you, dear reader, you were there to see it, and I'm sure you will remember it too.
