	Who needs Concorde anyway? Mach 2.18 after less than 10 seconds. And that was on half throttle with the 737-200 and a little '0' added on the thrust value. This also gave me a nice VTOL takeoff since the thrust increase pitched the a/c up and the thrust itself then blew it off the ground. The only downside so far are the "slightly" higher skin temps. � See? A/c design is easy. � Although the fuel burn has gone up too. Maybe I can glide down from 100.000ft. � Feeling quite lonely up here. � Up there at around 100.000ft, in my 737-200, I saw this. I think I see the world in an different angle now.

I don't like the idea of trying to peal my face of the windshield! And you said we were nuts CoolP. You went and did it in the 737-200, which increased the thrust in that aircraft to what? 242,000? WOW! 87,000 lbs of thrust more (about 56% more) than we used. Yep. I'd say we've lost some marbles. But gee it's fun!

	And while we are joking about space flights, Mr. Branson once again is a step ahead. One doesn't have to like him, but I truly adore the 'child's dream force' behind his projects. It's all about the money of course, but what an offer, huh? http://www.virgingalactic.com/ Book your tickets! �

	Awesome! It looks like Mr Branson, along with Burt Rutan's help, are likely to be taking people into space with regularity. It may not be very far off either. If only I had the money to pay to be able to afford a ticket on one of those flights! Mark

	Did you see that booking form on their page, where you can enter the question you like to know more about? 'Do you serve Fosters?' fits in there, I guess. � I have to look closer later since I'd like to know how high and how long they will fly you (or plan to do). But you are right, amazing thing and although the 'galactic' name may be a bit too enthusiastic, I think it's one of the nicer faces of money business so far. Clever thing, they even have some NASA bookings in the box, so some science money will be going into that project too.
