White Knight and Spaceship One just took off. Wish them luck! You can
watch it live at xprize.org.

p.s. N328KF is listed as a glider... no 'engine' : )

Fox Headline News coverage said that one of the conditions for
claiming the $10-milllion prize is that the pilot must return in "good
health," which is defined as surving for 24 hours after the landing.
What precaution is Rutan's organization taking to insure the pilot
doesn't slip on a banna peel or trip over his shoelaces during the
next 24 hours and cost them the prize? Do they lock him in a padded
cell?
