I am home from work today with a bad cold but just watched history being made. The science channel carried live coverage of the second official flight of Spaceship 1. She was slated to reach 328 thousand feet but she reached 360 thousand. Looks like they have won the Ansari X-prize for the first private spacecraft to reace an altitude of 60 miles, land safely, and repeat the flight in the same craft within 2 weeks. The craft must carry a pilot and eather 2 passangers or a pilot and the equivelent weight of 2 passangers. Spaceship 1 is built by a company called Scaled Composits which is haeded by Burt Rutan. He is the man who designed and built Voyager, the first aircraft to circle the earth without refueling.
