Not surprisingly, three out of four AVweb readers hate lawyers. Maybe
hate is too strong a word, but 75% of those who responded to last week's
poll on aviation litigation said that frivolous lawsuits are mostly useless and
serve only to drive up the already-expensive cost of flying. The other 25%
of you felt a swell of pity for lawyers, admitting that there's some value in
aviation lawsuits.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
This week, AVweb would like to hear your thoughts on Monday's successful
launch of SpaceShipOne. Tauted as "historic" by the engineers at Scaled Aircraft
(and by much of the media), the launch is being called "no big deal" by
detractors. In your opinion,
did we witness history being made, or just masterful hype?
