SpaceShipOne makes it into space

We can get there, without the government, for cheaper than the government. SpaceShipOne, the Scaled Composites entry into the Ansari X-Prize competition has crossed the threshold into space.

The next step is getting into orbit. After that, I think we should go to the moon. It's only three days away; we could set up a hotel there with a restaurant and a golf course next to it. After all: How much would *you* pay to play golf on the moon?

Then we can work on Mars....

As you'd expect InstaPundit has lots of info. Also, aSamizdata has some good posts on the launch.
