Congratulations to the SpaceShipOne team! Their craft was the first to reach the altitude required by the X Prize Foundation and win the $10 million prize.
You can read more about it at the CNN.com article entitled "SpaceShipOne captures X Prize."
Here's a quote from the CNN.com article:
SpaceShipOne achieved its most spectacular flight yet, climbing to an altitude of 377,591 feet (71 1/2 miles) to win the $10 million Ansari X Prize on Monday.
Here's another quote from the same article:
The nonprofit X Prize Foundation is sponsoring the contest to promote the development of a low-cost, efficient craft for space tourism in the same way prize competitions stimulated commercial aviation in the early 20th century.
