SpaceShipOne Makes Third Rocket-Powered Flight

Burt Rutan's Spaceshipone makes its third powered test flight, reaching an altitude of 212,000 feet. Kids, that's 41 miles, or over 80% of the way to space. NASA gives astronaut wings to anyone who makes it to fifty miles up.

Saw one of those shows once about the F117. It mentioned that after alot of research, it was determined that a pastelly shade of semi-purple is in fact the best color for night camo. As far as the human eye is concerned anyway.
None of which mattered, because real men don't fly purple planes. And that's why they're black.
