Just watched SpaceShip One launch on Fox News. This will be the craft's first flight to an X-Prize-eligible altitude of 100 Km. It will not be a qualifying flight, however, because Rutan and company are not prepared to do a follow-up in two weeks.
Will check back in a while when the airplane that the spacecraft is currently sitting on reaches altitude. Meanwhile, there is a lot of good information here.
