    70,000 feet. I'm guessing he'll reach the target altitude at around 6:30.

    I don't know about you, but I'm not watching constantly, rather I'm checking in occasionally. So the regular updates aren't a problem for me.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    For some reason I think he will land in Alaska.

    I also think part of him will land in Canada, and possibly other parts landing in the Caribbean.

    At this rate of climb, about another 30 minutes to go - but it might be less, since the rate of climb has increased a lot in the 15 minutes I've been watching.

    edit: it's decreasing again, down from almost 1200 ft/min to less than 700 ft/min. Time to lose more ballast?
