Got a rocket in my pocket

Article Abstract:

Former laboratory technician Steve Bennett believes that he has a very good chance of winning the $10 million prize being offered by a foundation in St Louis, MO, to the first person to build a rocket that carries passengers into space and returns safely. He aims to have three passengers on the first flight. He regrets the fact that most observers are cynical about the possibility of his rocket being successful. He hopes that he will eventually be regarded as a prophet with honour.

'Dear diary, I really need a DVD player.'

Article Abstract:

Around one teenager in five in the US now has a personal web page, containing diaries, poems, stories and in some cases online photo albums and real-time video images. Often, web pages include a wish-list of gifts that the subject would like to receive, and they can be quite successful in attracting people willing to give gifts.
