Did I live blog it? Obviously not.
I couldn’t see paying fifty bucks for a slow wireless connection, which was what was on offer. If I have the energy later, I may post what I would have live blogged, had I had an Intertube connection. Still kind of beat from recent travails for now, though. I need to get some dinner, pack, and take it easy tonight, so I can get up early to drive to Phoenix in the morning for a mid-afternoon conference start.
Rand, dude! S’ok that u didn’t live blog it (heck if I was back at home rather than here at Emory U I coulda taken the ten-minute drive down to the conference – if they’d’ve let me in, of course).
Anyway, here’s an interesting concept: http://dsc.discovery.com/news/2008/03/27/origami-space-plane.html
Have you heard about this? What do you think?
Hmm…but being paper (and so, requiring a cool re-entry), how would you track it? Radar and infrared would seem to be useless.
I mean, this would be as stealthy as all get out, so much so, that even the ‘operators’ wouldn’t know what happened to it…
Lightweight transponder and/or satellite beacon?
