Default SpaceShipOne to go the distance this month?

According to a Reuters article today
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=5327451
SpaceShipOne is to attempt a full 100KM high flight on June 21. Since there
will only be one passenger, the flight will not qualify as an X-prize flight.

I seem to recall that the ship doesnt have to CARRY three people....it only has
to have the CAPABILITY to do so.....so two crash test dummies of the required
mass and size can go along for the ride with the pilot and the prize
requirements can still be meet....

take care
