Amateurs in Space

That Buck Rogers Stuff

And no, that’s not a porn title.  These guys here have sent a rocket into actual outer space with a ham radio payload.  Well, Low Earth Orbit anyway.  I had hoped to scoop Rocket Jones, but he got this up a minute ago.  Damn.  (Although since our clocks are not synchronized, it looks like I beay him by three minutes.  Would I lie to you?) Nevertheless, the groundswell of private space enterprise continues to, well, swell.  Next thing you know, me and Mrs. Buckethead will be booking a vacation on the moon.  Do you have any idea how cool an amusement park you could create in one-sixth g?
