An Australian research team may have pulled off a successful scramjet test, which, according to the article, would mean “one of the most significant technological advances since American Chuck Yeager became the first person to break the sound barrier in 1947.” If nothing else, to be able to fly to Australia and back in two hours would be something else.

So, do you think this will start a US-Australian scramjet race? I can hear Bush now… “My Fellow Americans, we *will* scram-scram-scramble to have a scramthingy in orbit by 2005. We will not let the southernmost continent beat us.”
LOL!
