A lovely quick breakfast of eggs, bacon and fruit in the hanger, cooked by the XCOR management... and now we wait a little bit before the roll out. Rand Simberg and Michael Mealing have been posting from here as well; I've seen a couple others who might be blogging stories as well.

And Dr. Pournelle is running about preparing to connect here in the XCOR office, so perhaps there will also be stories on his site.

I am almost surprised to not see Glenn out here since he knows almost all the same people I do and should be kicking himself for not running out on students for two days to join us here.

Meanwhile, I have to get busy on my second coffee!

He is not the only one wishing he could be in Mojave in person. Good luck to the Pilot, ground crew, investors, and eye witnesses to history.
