Just a thought though... turbulence and other aerodynamic anomalies inherent from the plane moving through air at a minimum speed will distort images a little... even if only from minute vibrations. When are they going to hoist one of the telescopes up there by hot air baloon? :) It’s fiting that the program is called Origins for many reasons, including the fact that Richard Garriott will be in space in late 2008, if you don’t know who he is he’s the founder of Origin Systems (a gaming company).
