- - - - - First Private Space Flight - - - - -

Note that tomorrow SpaceShip One will fly.

Why is this important?

This is the first flight of a private space craft.

If they can get more than 62 miles above the Earth's surface, XCOR and Burt Rutan will claim the "X-Prize" of $10,000,000.

Fingers crossed that this will be a success.

And that NASA will finally have some real competition!
