      You GNAA fucks are really slipping lately. Did all of your people finally grow the fuck up or what? You were, for a very brief time, at the top of the trolling heap. Now you're just a pathetic shell of your former selves.

    Holy crist, why is this modded +5 ???!?!?

    In case you haven't figured it out from the other posts, mr. hsmith, SpaceShipOne was not scientific.
