They had their final flight this morning. It's been announced on the X-Prize site already (http://www.xprize.org/]www.xprize.org). There's a link to the flight video too, although the scaled site seems to be down at the moment.

Congrads. I also read the Virgin is investing $25 million in a program called Virgin Galactic to develop this technology. I hope Space Ship one becomes mass produced!

Well congratulation to SpaceShipOne and to Its owners for having achieved the goal.

But to all those that have partial or nearly complete vehicles keep going.

We all know the direction that SpaceShipOne and the free enterprise industry has in store with the announcement of virgin getting into the space flight game.

Also there is the announcement of the http://www.xpcup.com/ to continue on the excitement of the xprize in the coming year.

In addition we have the Bigelow LEO prize still of which they are ironing out the prize amount and looking for more funds to go with his pledged amount of 25 million.
