The Canadian Arrow team is still moving toward their own attempt at the X-Prize. IIRC, their system is based on the V-2. They still have a way to go to catch Burt Rutan.

A Place for Aerospace Info. 

Don't remember where I found this one. This a pretty neat place with lots of pictures and information on all aspects of aviation and space flight. The "Ask the Rocket Scientest" page is pretty cool.

I'm Tired of Being Dead and Wet 

I'm playing Medal of Honor-Allied Assault on the PC and have gotten through the Tunisia and Norway missions on my own, but now I'm stumped. Anybody out there have ANY hints on how to get off the bloody beach in the Normandy scenario? I keep getting chopped up just as I get onto the beach. When I get TO the beach. All the gaming sites have are cheat codes, but I just want to know how to work my way ashore on this one. I can't find any walkthroughs or hints, just cheat codes.

Also in Medal of Honor-Spearhead, how do you keep the agent alive long enough to open the door?

Where Warships Go to Die 

VERY sad. The final resting place for retired warships. I still don't understand why the CGNs were retired so quickly, Especially the Texas and her classmates. They were relatively young ships, and made perfect escorts for the CVNs.
