SpaceShipOne to go the distance this month?
According to a Reuters article today
http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.j...toryID=5327451 SpaceShipOne is to attempt a full 100KM high flight on June 21. Since there will only be one passenger, the flight will not qualify as an X-prize flight. Vaughn

Since
there will only be one passenger, the flight will not qualify as an X-prize flight. I seem to recall that the ship doesnt have to CARRY three people....it only has to have the CAPABILITY to do so.....so two crash test dummies of the required mass and size can go along for the ride with the pilot and the prize requirements can still be meet.... take care Blll
