11:02 a.m. ET: Mike Melvill and his SpaceShipOne have made it into space. Everything looks good, mission official said, and the craft is now gliding back toward a landing at the Mojave Airport, where it took off earlier this morning. "I got goose bumps when I saw contrails," Greg Klerkx, author of Lost in Space: The Fall of NASA and the Dream of a New Space Age. "I never thought I'd see this moment, but here it is."

The dawn of a new era! Now the question is how long before they start offering rides to the paying public? :-)

Update: SS1 made a safe landing in the Mojave Desert in CA.

Very cool!

Still waiting on the official confirmation of the height achieved. :-)

This should go down as a major milestone in aviation history. :-)
