R.I.P.

These gentlemen knew what they were getting in to when they were selected to fly in this program. Current media appears to want to stymie aerospace research and development. If it weren't for the likes of Otto Lillienthal, Percy Pilcher, Samuel Cody, Sir John Alcock, Wiley Post/Will Rogers, Geoffrey De Havilland Jnr, Mel Apt, Mike Adams, Gus Grissom/Ed White/Roger Chaffee and many many others... and indeed for those that took up the mantle because they believed it could/should be done we would be earthbound. Something for the sensationalists in the media to consider!

Last nights' final episode of "Human Universe" on the BBC was dedicated to his memory.

It should be repeated on Sunday evening if you missed it.

Friends and co-workers paid tribute on Thursday (Nov. 13) to test pilot Michael Alsbury, NBC News reports.
The memorial ceremony featured a rare flyover by the WhiteKnightTwo mothership that carried SpaceShipTwo to its final flight nearly two weeks ago.

About 1,000 mourners, including Alsbury's widow and their two children, attended the ceremony at a baseball stadium in Lancaster, a half-hour's drive south of WhiteKnightTwo's home base at the Mojave Air and Space Port. Among those in attendance were America's first private-sector astronauts, Mike Melvill and Brian Binnie, who flew an earlier SpaceShipOne plane into outer space 10 years ago.

...a second SpaceShipTwo plane is more than half complete inside a Virgin Galactic hangar, and Branson noted that the engineers building the plane have nicknamed it "Hope."

"Mike has given us this hope, and we plan to honor Mike's name by achieving the dream he had pursued so very bravely," Branson said.
