Exciting stuff!

Rutan's SpaceShipOne hit 200,000 feet today over their Mojave test site.

Won't be long now I guess.

Only 120,000 more feet straight up and they've made the first
qualifying flight for the $10 million X-Prize. The rumor I heard was they
only put on half a load of propellant, today. My guess is they will go all
out within two weeks.
