And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I think Scaled Composites actually stole Branson's thunder back in 2003. Both mothership & Spaceship One designed & built inside of three years by the master, Burt Rutan. 18 years later Branson does the exact same mission, only not quite as high, with the same flight systems?
Looks like Richard Branson's rocket launch. Haven't heard too much about him lately. I guess Musk stole his thunder.

ReplyDeleteIt's startling to see how quickly that sucker accelerates after the big rocket lights up. That'll fuse your butt to the seat.
ReplyDeleteHardest part of that whole launch would have been sync'ing the launch platform.
