SpaceShipOne Wins the X-Prize

NASA APOD · Scaled Composites
COSMIC MESSAGE

Human space flight has entered the domain of private companies. SpaceShipOne soared 100 kilometers above the Earth for the second time in two weeks to claim the $10 million Ansari X-Prize. This prize was established to inspire private space flight development. Previously, private companies primarily supported public human space flight programs, but this marked a new era of corporate-led space travel.
