SpaceShipOne claims the Ansari X-Prize

I know its not really cert related, and god i'm late (this is news from the 4th)

But on Monday at 7:45 (MST or PST i assume), White Night launched with SpaceShipOne aboard, a clean non eventful flight commenced, and at 7:51 a height of 328'000ft was attained (enough to beat the record set by the X-15 in 1963

SpaceShipOne was piloted this flight by Brian Binnie, who landed the craft safely about 20 minutes after takeoff.

I would like to congratulate all those who took part in the X Prize, who may just of changed human space exploration forever. May the future hold bright things for mans journey into the new frontier.
