Another scoop: Ky Michaelson plans to carry out a space-first as early as Monday.
May/17/2004 may be a historic day for space-travel,
and no government funding is involved.
If all goes well, Ky Michaelson's private rocketry-organization,
CSXT [Civilian Space Exploration Team], plan to launch a 21ft tall
rocket from Black-Rock Desert as early as next Monday into
"outer-space"; hopefully reaching an altitude of 70 miles up.
Type in his name, or his org name, into your search-window

Thanks.
