Today, the first private spaceflight, piloted by test pilot Mike Melvill, launches from the Mojave desert in California. As a kid, I wanted very badly to be an astronaut, a desire I didn't really set aside until my junior year of high school, and one I've never completely let go. Perhaps some day, thanks to Mr. Melvill, I'll get my chance to go into space after all.
