Get Ready !:Spaceshipone to fly into space monday/reminder

Hey guys,

I know threads on ATS have talked about the XPrize race before, but i just wanted to remind everyone that Scaled Composite's Spaceshipone will attempt to go suborbital on Monday. Perhaps this thread can be used to post impressions concerning last minute preparations for the flight itself and commentary on how the media is covering this event (the first time private individuals have sent a human into space):

this article has the misson time:

Here's the link to the radio station that's broadcasting it:

I 'topped' this thread, and closed all the others to prevent having three threads on the same topic

Well it looks like people from NASA are going to have to look for new jobs. J/K, but this is a BIG step for the private sector, and I think NASA is going to have to sit up and recognize what have been achieved.
