Is there anything better than successful space launches?

How about successful privately funded space launches?

that was quick.

You remind me of my brother in San Fran. It sounds like English, but I think we're actually speaking different languages.

Shivering timbers, I want to be a space-journalist!

Maybe you can 'splain this to Mr. Dmlaenker, hay?

Question... why would you not want this and NASA?

I'm not ragging on NASA here, really. Why did this come across that way?

The point is that someone did it!

A little, but it was more likely my framing. I've been very defensive of NASA ever since the last season of Penn & Teller's BS. With the shuttle fleet going to mothballs in two years, I'm glad that there's an inexpensive and reliable alternative in development. (Honest to John, I wouldn't want to fly in Discovery or Atlantis at this point, though, maybe Endeavor.)
