I had a brilliant brainstorm (As I do about once every ten years) and bought a blank scrapbook at the drugstore. You glue pictures to paper insets, which you then place into plastic sheaths. What was the brainstorm, you ask?

To make a scrapbook tracking the efforts of Virgin Galactic as it launches (Pardon the pun) this new era in space history!
It's a good thing that I saved the clipping about SS1 from my Scholastic News back in sixth grade. Every event or concept is a page. So far I have "The first flight", "The accident" and "The unveiling". "The spaceport" is a work in progress.
Any tips about making this scrapbook?

No, "Why the unnecessary abbreviation in the title?", is my question.

I still have my Mercury, Gemini and Apollo scrapbook I made when I was a kid. It is all faded and yellow. The tape is falling off. I would suggest soaking your clippings in .1 molar Sodium Bicarbonate to neutralize the acids, using archival quality base stock, and storing under argon in a titanium vault at liquid nitrogen temperatures in total darkness 10,000 feet underground to avoid cosmic rays.

But you have it, and now it's historic! That's why I wanted to make this.
My brother wanted to use the computer, so I was hurrying to finish on BAUT.

Maybe one of the moderators could change the title? Please?

Will the scrapbook include your boarding pass?

I hope, someday! Maybe my first year out of college.

Yeah, but it'll still be too expensive then. Plus, I'll want to celebrate the fact that I never have to go to school again!

I finished "The Spaceport". I guess I won't have anything to add until the test flights start in June.

Added information about Lynx's vehicle, because competition makes for a good story.

What good does it do to have a 'Virgin Galactic' scrapbook, if you don't have Galactic Virgins to put in it?

I got a scrapbook at the dollar store to put news articles about the development of SpaceShipTwo in.
