Congratulations to Burt Rutan and the team at Scaled Composites. SpaceShipOne claimed the $10M Ansari X-Prize by completing the second of two flights which took the craft to approximately 367,000 feet, well beyond the edge of Earth and space.

Last week Sir Richard Branson announced that he would begin offering commercial flights into space in 2007 using aircraft based on SpaceShipOne.
