Space tourists and pilots on the loose

And they’re coming to a school or an airport near you, at least if you’re in New Jersey. NorthJersey.com reports on an appearance by Brian Binnie, SpaceShipOne pilot, at the Lincoln Park Airport in New Jersey on Saturday. “It’s like meeting Charles Lindbergh or the Wright brothers,” said airport manager Peter DeRosa. Meanwhile, two days earlier and about 70 kilometers away, ISS space tourist Greg Olsen spoke to elementary school students in Lebanon, New Jersey, the Easton (Pa.) Express-News reported. Olsen told the students that floating in weightlessness was his “most thrilling experience”. “Imagine if you could float in the middle of the air,” he said. “It’s like magic.”
