(Strange sounds and sights were heard, nearby to the launching sites.)

Update 2012
An experimental hypersonic glider was forced to abort its 13,000 mph flight over the Pacific Ocean during the summer
of 2011 because larger than expected portions of its skin peeled off, officials from the US Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) announced on Friday.

Different time, different world. Reminds me how I was forced to attend dance classes, when I would rather be climbing trees, and riding my bike.

Really hated dance classes, when I found out about skateboards. Guess what I did with my roller skates ? Almost killed myself, first try.
