First private spaceflight successful PDF Print E-mail
Monday, 26 May 2008
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.
