The Final Frontier

Now that all the hype about the Ansari X Prize has died down, I've finally gotten around to posting the pictures I took when we attended the very first manned commercial space launch. This actually wasn't either of the X Prize flights that SpaceShipOne made. We considered going back for the X Prize tries, but we figured that the actual historic thing was the first commercial manned space flight, and the other two launches were cool, but were basically commerce, not history. Just necessary to collect the prize money. Besides, we didn't really want to schlep out to Mojave and drag out of bed at 4:00 AM again.

Also, since Kate gave me some tips on how to bring the snazzy to my photos, I updated the shots from the Padres game as well. I don't think Sports Illustrated is going to come calling anytime soon, but it is an improvement.
