Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

SpaceShipOne (2)

I didn't manage to watch SpaceShipOne's flight yesterday, although I have managed to catch up on what I missed.

Whilst the flight certainly didn't go without problems I was interested to that "Melvill recounted how, as he became weightless, he opened a bag of M&M chocolates to watch them float around the cabin".

Whilst not being an expert in these matters, having temporarily lost control of the craft, bits crumpling off, I don't think I would trust my luck not to get an M&M stuck in the controls.
