SpaceShip One made its successful test flight, into "space" (i.e. an altitude of 62.5 mi) and returning safely, this morning. I'm sure there will be info all over /. and cnn and everywhere else, so no links.

This is pretty much all over the headlines, but I am finding it difficult to care. I am sure there is some good use for it, but I worry it will end up just being a business thing where people pay to be astronauts. I hope for more success, though, in hopes that lots of rich people will fly into space and never come back. :-P
