The final frontier....

It's been a while since I filched one of NASA's Astronomy Pictures of the Day, and I missed the Image of the Week due to my now-abating head cold, so here's a nifty shot of the X-43A experimental jet, which engaged in a test run last week in which it exceeded Mach 7.



I like how we're starting to design things that look like they belong in "the future", seeing as how just about everybody I know is disappointed on some level that the twenty-first century doesn't look the way it was supposed to. And I also like the fact that NASA is still using that blue circular logo of theirs -- kind of a "The more things change, the more things stay the same" type of thing.
