    In case you missed it on the news, yesterday SpaceShipOne made history
    as the first privately funded craft to reach the lower limits of outer
    space.

    The pilot was 62 year old Mike Melvill, and there is a good post-flight
    quote from him in this article:

    <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/06/22/spaceshipone_triumphs/>

    /" And as for Mike Melvill, he described the experience as
    "mind-blowing... Absolutely an awesome thing." He rather sensibly added
    that he would "back off a little bit now and ride my bike"."/
