12/05/2004: "A Quarter Century & Ten Million Dollars"


spaceshipone (10k image)Speculation is ripe about the winner of the X-Prize with word (rumours) that Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne could be the spacecraft to win the $10m reward.

Media interest is growing and the organisers are talking about an expected win by the end of the year, as in this BBC News article.

Today is also a milestone for the face behind this here blog. A quarter century breathing on this planet just went by. Anybody notice?

Stop with the self-deprecating nonsense. I know it's your birthday today, and if you'd given me a chance, I'd have rung tonight and wished you a happy birthday.

Your present and card await you when you next visit the UK.

Look forward to seeing you soon.

Jon

PS And HAPPY BIRTHDAY. How rude, asking for someone to say it. Be patient...

Well... your here comment is achieving the feat of being kind, mischievous and truthful all at the same time.

Maybe I should just say "yes, yes" and smile dumbly.

I got a series of SMS from a friend in Chile, an e-mail from a friend in Beijing, a call from you in Cambridge, a call from my Dad in Jedda, additional SMS from my family in France, and the Mullah brothers sang for me!

Quite cool!
