I was
reading Jeremy Clarkson's take on the
demise of Concorde last night. I've had
similar thoughts myself. The fact that today we can no longer travel to
New York in 3 hours, or in fact
return to the Moon at all, when at one point in history we could, shows that as a culture we're sliding backwards rather than pushing forwards. That can't be a good thing...

Images of test flight at WoomeraSo today I greeted
The Register's
report on the
successful test flight of the scale model of the
Japanese SST at the
Woomera Test Range in Australia with mixed emotions. Well done to
JAXA and the Japanese, but why isn't it
us any more?
Update: BBC News,
Slashdot and the
International Herald Tribune all have more...
