Mike Melvill, the first civilian astronaut, has just landed in Scaled Composite's SpaceShipOne after a flawless flight to 100km, the edge of space. This was the first private spaceflight in history, and a precursor to Scaled's X-Prize attempt. I've got to hand it to BBC, too, as they were the only people to offer a decent video webcast of the event. EDIT: Looks like it wasn't as flawless as it seemed.
