www.space.com is reporting that Spaceship one flew it's first rocket powered
flight today.

68Kft and it broke the sound barrier.
Minor incident on landing the left side gear colapsed.
No injuries,minor damage.


Good luck to the pioneers of the next century!


Very cool--68k feet on a 15 second burn!

Bet they will be doing their full suborbital flight within a couple of
months..

Can't see any other X-Prize team beating Rutan now
