This is huge news!  I've been watching the X Prize since 1996 when I met with Peter Diamandis.  It's so exciting that someone has been able to meet the necessary criteria to be awarded the prize.  Yay!

SpaceShipOne, the manned suborbital spacecraft built by Scaled Composites, captured the $10 million Ansari X Prize Monday after a trouble-free flight. SpaceShipOne deployed from its White Knight carrier aircraft at approximately 10:49 am EDT (1449 GMT) and soared to an estimated unofficial altitude of over 112,000 meters, well in excess of the X Prize qualifying altitude of 100 km and breaking the record for rocketplanes set by the X-15 four decades ago. The flight is the second to exceed 100 km by the vehicle in under one week, beating the two-week requirement of the prize. An official determination that the team won the prize may come later today or tomorrow; the actual prize will be awarded in St. Louis next month.
