First crewed flight for VSS Enterprise

According to a tweet from Richard Branson and to Virgin News released today, VSS Enterprise realized it's first crewed flight on July the 15th 2010. And what does it have to do with quovadislive.com? One year ago NASA and the rest of the world celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the first moonwalk. For the occasion we released a small control showing on every map whereby the earth latitude and longitude coordinates where projected on the moon. That was our way to pay a tribute to the 400,000 people involved in the Apollo Mission. The Spaceship Projects represent to us the same than the Apollo Program or Yeager breaking the sound barrier in a level flight on October 14th 1947 or Columbus (re-) discovering America in 1492. In our opinion all these projects are among the few that embody the true spirit of Entrepreneurship. It makes the human being greater by pushing the limits a little bit further every time. And at QuoVadis Live! it encourages us to push the outside of the enveloppe every day a little bit more. Kudos to the guys at Spaceship and in particular Spaceshipone. Here a truly inspirational presentation by Burt Rutan. Kudos and thanks!
