If they go fast enough, and go back in time, and land before the flight started, is that a moral equivalent to a Kerry flipflop?

10:10 a.m. ET: NASA Adminitrator Sean O'Keefe is in the audience at Mojave. Cool! Maybe he'll learn a few things.

FOX news said they have a special camera they purchased just for events like this. They should be able to see the separation as it occurs.

Idiot reporter on Fox just said weightlessness begins at 200k feet. Guess he has no concept of what causes weightlessness in space and that falling is what causes it...not distance from the earth (at least this close in).

There is an art, it says, or rather, a knack to flying.
