I'm watching a webcast with no sound, so I'm not sure, but I think SpaceShipOne is in the air right now.
(It'll spend an hour climbing to altitude, de-couple, fire rockets to boost into space -- 62+ miles/100 km above the Earth -- and glide back home. Alas, I will be in Contracts class during that time.)
(10:16 a.m. EST)
The followup flight is currently scheduled for early next week (must be within 14 days to be eligible for the prize).
This will be the second time SS1 has hit space, the first was in June of this year.
(edited 3:05 p.m. EST) SS1 did it! Now, next week's flight!!
