THEY DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!

SpaceShipOne made its second flight this morning (Monday) and again made it into space and thus claiming the X Prize for being the first privately funded space ship to make it into space twice with in a two week period.

Actually, I don't know of ANY government program that has done that, even NASA back in the early 1960s.

Check out Space.com and Yahoo News.

Great job. Next we need an X Prize for a privately (or heck, let governments try) funded ship to make orbit, land and do it again with in two weeks.

That is what the Space Shuttle was originally sold to us as being able to do. Lets see a real shuttle do it.
