re: Black Sky
"I thought about the fact that the ship was basically cloth held together with glue"
The whole sky was black in the middle of the day, it was amazing!
I want to point out the pilot, Melville (Sp?) is a high school drop-out in his 60's. The camera footage from the ship alone is worth the watch.
Excellent presentation, if you missed it - find a copy, wait for a rerun, but see it.
They're going for the second flight today, will be keeping a sharp ear to the radio at work.
