SpaceShipOne reaches space again, wins $10 million prizePOSTED: Monday, October 04, 2004 11:00:36 AMUPDATED: Monday, October 04, 2004 11:12:18 AM
MOJAVE, Calif. -- It appears that the private space plane called SpaceShipOne has achieved its goal -- reaching space for the second time, to qualify for a $10 million prize.
For the second time in a week, the stubby rocket plane was carried to the skies on the belly of a carrier plane -- and then fired its rocket engine to soar into space. Within minutes, it appeared to have topped its required altitude. It's now headed back toward a landing in Mojave, California.
