As usual, your predominantly snide remarks show that the "tall poppy" syndrome is alive and well in Oz.
How about congratulating the DJ drivers and wishing those who plan to have a go the best of luck?!? I watched a '60 Minutes' story last year about Burt Rutan, Mike Melville (his chief test pilot) and all the crew who worked so hard to make Spaceship One a reality. It was no "Mickey Mouse" stuff. These guys are at the forefront of a whole new frontier, and some of the stuff they were doing was damned near heroic.
I personally think the two DJ drivers who get selected are two lucky bastards.
