June 21
Posted: Tue Jun 20, 2006 8:37 pmTo alleviate the absence of historical posts, here's some for June 21:
In 1788, New Hampshire became the ninth state to ratify and put the United States Constitution into effect.
In 1921, for WW2 Era fans, Jane Russell was born -- 85 years ago (to save you doing the math).
In 1996, it was agreed to gradually lift the global ban on British beef exports due to 'mad cow'. Any of you Brits still claim to have one?
In 2004, the first privately financed manned spaceflight, the SpaceShipOne rocket plane, breached Earth's atmosphere and landed in the Mojave Desert, California.
There you go, take your pick or add your own.
