You know Tony I was thinking about those the other day.

If they are smart they will have scooped them all up and
one day in the future donate them to the Smithsonian.


I heard some one mention the Smithsonian in "Black Sky" but I'm not sure if
sending some of the M&Ms was part of it. I wonder when/if they'll launch
again.

Melvill's wife was passing them out after the first flight. She asked
somebody if they wanted some M&Ms and said that they've been in space.
Probably ate all of them by now.

Look at all that free advertizing M&Ms got there. The candy company owes
Melvill and Rutan a favor big time.
