[OT] Rutan makes 100km up!

Cool aerospace news: Burt Rutan's SpaceShip One made it over 100km
altitude early this morning in Mojave, California!

Very cool - this isn't a XPrize shot - there weren't enough people in
the
plane - but we're getting closer.

www.scaled.com is Rutan's website, there's a few photos that I think are
from today's shot, but I don't have time to check now (work sucks...).

This one is very cool:

The first private astronaut exists now - lucky bastard!
