X Prize: It's official!

[mckitterick]

So I dragged my ass out of bed after only five hours of sleep (I know; don't do the math...) to watch SpaceShipOne make its second flight into SPACE! And it beat the X-15 for highest flight of a winged (non-Shuttle) craft! And and and! Coooooool!

Some good links re: this:

Yay!

Welcome to the real Space Age.

Yeah! So glad Gordon Cooper got to know this happened before he died. Start of an era, end of an era.
