Godspeed SpaceShipOne!
G: Now this is something that doesn't happen everyday! It is so interesting that the person behind the Xprize is Anousheh Ansari. An EE who came from Iran.. too bad there aren't any Iranian/Persian entrants or even Asian.. I think Ms. Ansari could play a big role in improving education for women in the Muslim world.

G: First leeches,now maggots.. I guess finally Western medicine realises the limitations of just cutting people open and or prescribing pills! Yah!?

It seems that maggots, long neglected by medicine, have come back from the dead.
