Private Space Shot a Success

Private Space Shot a Success: "The man at the controls called it 'a mind-blowing experience -- awesome.' But everyone who saw test pilot Mike Melvill become the world's first people's astronaut Monday was calling it history. Melvill flew SpaceShipOne, a rocket plane designed by iconoclastic aerospace pioneer Burt Rutan, to an unofficial altitude of 100 kilometers. The suborbital mission marked the first time a civilian pilot at the controls of a privately financed aircraft had crossed the threshold of space."
