That is pretty cool. people have some rather good arguments about how that's not really possible with what the article states - without a rather severe chance of being squashed instantly as you decelerate from Mach 2, but i guess it's been done before.

Still pretty cool anyways...

and then there's this:

//article also states that they just flew past Mach 2 without a canopy... doesn't say anything about ejecting at that speed. Gizmodo gettin' title happy?

Its common practice now for companies to investigate your social networking presence. So they may as well ask you for all the internet aliases you go by during you application for employment. I went on an interview not to long ago where I was told you work with technology and we can't find you on facebook/myspace/linkedin/blogspot/livejournal. to which i replied what you never heard of twitter/friendfeed/bebo/orkut/friendster? and they said you're on those, and i replied "No, but it shows how much you know about that social networking trend. You'll still need me to run your data center when that gets old."
