July 26 2000

Last night I viewed an hour-long program, titled "Star Fleet," on The Learning Channel. (Needless to say, I was lured in by the title.) It was a documentary on the quest of various individuals to develop a viable one-stage, reusable rocket that would reach outer space. This culminated in the X-33. I don't know whether this was a new program, a repeat, or whether it will be aired again in the future, but if you have an interest in the topic, you might want to be on the lookout.

Also, this news brief from NASA:
