I meant to say one of the following:

"It's not really flying over Mojave; it's just flying over Vista again."

"It flew to Mojave, and turned around to go back home to XP."]]>May 2nd 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/

All it can do is a quick up and back. But that's a beginning and whether it's practical or not, they're going to be thinking about how to reach LEO every step of the way in this endeavor.]]>May 2nd 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 2nd 2009 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/

In order to orbit, you need to pick up LOADS of horizontal velocity (7-8 km/s, 25000 km/s). And coming back in you have to scrub it off. This is why NASA switched from taking off under a plane to an enormous rocket for takeoff. And scrubbing the speed off is the cause of all the heat of reentry, which carbon fiber cannot withstand.]]>May 2nd 2009 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 2nd 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 2nd 2009 6:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 2nd 2009 1:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/Did the pilots forget to pull the wheels up in the midst of all the excitement?]]>May 2nd 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 2nd 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 3rd 2009 2:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 3rd 2009 3:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/
A gadget is a small technological object (such as a device or an appliance) that has a particular function, but is often thought of as a novelty. Gadgets are invariably considered to be more unusually or cleverly designed than normal technological objects at the time of their invention. Gadgets are sometimes also referred to as gizmos.

Yes, Aeroplane, yes.

If they're the same, there's no need to include both. If "gadgets" are a subset of "gizmos," then just say "gizmos."

Yes, I cringe every time someone mistakenly says that "[they] could care less."]]>May 2nd 2009 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 3rd 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/May 4th 2009 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/02/virgin-galactics-whiteknighttwo-caught-mid-flight-on-video/
