I am really excited about the launch this morning of Space Ship One. The whole family flew out for the first time they launched all the way into space. This morning’s flight is the first of two needed to win the Xprize. I just wish the web cast would stop cutting out.

UPDATE [10:52am]: Just finished watching the rocket fire and the safe return of SS1. Congrats to all the engineers at Scaled Composites and to pilot Mike Melville!
