Geek Moment Begin: It occured to me today that the success of SpaceShipOne is our reality version of when Zefram Cochrane made the first warp flight. Geek Moment End.
Dusseldorf - continued
The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
You are very correct. If fact, it was not reported in the news, but after landing, the pilot of SpaceShipOne was greeted by a tall, thin man with pointy ears!
