Good morning ladies. Flag-o-gram.


Pilot Mike Melville waves as he sits atop SpaceShipOne as it is towed following his historic flight of the world's first privately funded rocket plane beyond Earth's atmosphere at the Mojave Airport in California, June 21, 2004. SpaceShipOne, designed by legendary aerospace designer Burt Rutan and funded by billionaire Paul Allen, reached a height of 62 miles making Melville the world's first private astronaut.

An eager fan, or perhaps a Space Groupie.
