They are competing for the Ansari X-Prize, but this launch will not be a part of the contest, but a test run. One pilot will be entering space.





This is going to be awesome.

I would love to go.

The spacecraft and flight are designed so that the pilot doesn't need pressure suits or fancy clothing/protection. I need to trick a friend into letting me watch on their tv.

Hobos can't afford cable tv.

Burt Rutan is a genious. Who else could make aircraft that look like that.

It's a start. They will only be in space for 3 minutes. Still a long way to go. They will also be only 1/3 of the height that the space shuttle attains.
