Unfortunately i didnt watch the launch(so correct me if im wrong)
but one thing that I quite dont undestand is how he has managed to reach the space with so little fuel in such a 'fragile' structure (considering that the pictures showed a shuttle that didnt have those ceramics plates for reentering the atmosphere).
Everytime NASA put the something in orbit, they burn that boatload of fuel, and this guy just got there in a what looks more like a giant Kite! And with what I believe being a much lower budget.
kinda justifies how NASA is loosing its prestige day after day with the american government and with public in general.
I was helping out my professor at the laboratory.
He commited the old mistake of installing Windows XP after installing Linux on his computer.Since he couldnt boot his linux partition where his research final paper was,he asked for my help.
i tried to install lilo, grub, partition magic...you name it.. i dont know what excactly how i did it, but when i finished, he couldnt access none of the partitions, and the boot manager got damaged!! =(
it isnt necessary to say that I lost my scholarship at the lab. =P
everytime they say:
"the company behind the technology, says 'the discs, by themselves, cannot be hacked."
I hear:
Ok boys and girls ou there, the Stopwatch has gone off. The first one to hack the 'unhackable' code, wins a brownie!
if it can be done, and if you give it to the right guy (requiremente: some intelligence , a lot of free time, the right tools and some privacy to work)
certainly it can be undone.It's just a question of time. A
nd then... the whole cycle begins again..
well, I guess they are aware of that.. =D

Thanks again modern physics!
