PS, today is as important a milestone as the Wright Brothers, Yeager, Lunar landing ,etc, yet no one in my office knew it was going on, and I bet $100, that none of my kids teachers will have clued them into it today either. Really kind of sad, and shows how much things have changed since the Apollo programs.

I wonder if it is easier in the UK.

I'm talking professional level, not amateur. Where does the UK X-Prize team fly from?

So... does Rutan have his Level 3 certification? ... I assume through Tripoli since he didn't use a commercially available motor...

LOL, good thing that the motor is a hybrid or Mr. Rutan would have to deal with the ATF and get a LEUP!!!!!

Someone mentioned the incredible impact of having won after only ONE week between flights. They still have a week left. I wonder if they will send her up a 3rd time, all within that 2 week window, just because they can...
I also hope folks realize the real significance of this. This is right up there with Alan Shepards first flight!
And the added bonus of having beaten the X15 record for altitude
