As some of you know, my wife does like those pointy nosed planes without
wings. Just thought I'd post a link to a video of the launch of the
aircraft, Icarus, that she helped to design.

She was responsible for much of the 2nd stage design. They had to go before
a NASA comittee and defend their reasoning. They did, and set a world
record with the launch on March 22nd of this year. Aircraft's max speed,
Mach 4.04, max altitude (approximately 200,000 feet!) 37.8 miles,
acceleration 13.2 G's, all verified by onboard telemetry and NASA radar
tracking. Although about 12 miles shy of space, this is a record for
highest altitude of a student built rocket. Just thought that was cool to
see something that she worked on in the design and conceptual stage make it
into reality. Brian W.
