With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Here are some pics that I have taken of the area around the launch site in Texas...
I wouldn't call it "not much of a flight." That flight demonstrated very fine control of the vehicle. Already, the computer control is more sophisticated than our orbital launch vehicles. This flight puts it in the club of DC-X, Japan's test RLV, and Armadillo Aerospace (also in Texas).I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -
Don't misunderstand me - it was a nice and well controlled flight, but was straight up and down and lasted only a few secs.Originally posted by DanS

BC, that was kinda the point. This was to prove some of the tech, like the thrust vectoring. I'm not sure what they were using for fuel, but I doubt it would take them much further than what we see in the video. This wasn't about reaching orbit, this was about getting off the ground in a controlled manner and returning safely and on-target.The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

All I say is that there isn't much flight to see, but I really can't remember I have said that this fact should in any way be a bad thing. I'm quite aware of the fact that this is an experimental prototype and that it isn't supposed to fly for long.
Call my comment a small warning to people that would have expected a saturn V blast off.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

If you had just said "a short flight", then your connotations wouldn't have gotten away from you.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

"Maximum altitude on this first development flight was about 285 feet."
About 28 stories. That's not bad at all. Actually, I would think it pretty hard to go JUST that high, and return back down.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.
