Congratulations to pilot Mike Melvill, Burt Rutan, and Paul Allen over at Scaled Composites on the marvelous achievement of putting the first commercially funded manned vehicle in space. Despite some significant problems which according to Rutan will delay the team's attempt at the X Prize, Melvill made a perfect landing at Mojave.
I have to admit, I got in late to work as I watched it live on CNN.
