Summary: "A privately financed passenger-carrying sub-orbital rocket plane
screamed its way through the sound barrier today, the 100th anniversary of
the Wright Brothers historic 12-second flight over Kitty Hawk, North
Carolina.

Privately built by Scaled Composites of Mojave, California, the SpaceShipOne
cranked up its hybrid rocket motor after being released from the White
Knight carrier plane high over Mojave, California."



That is just too cool, eh?
