SpaceShipOne Completes Second Test Flight
waynegoode writes "According to an article at Space.com, Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne suborbital rocket plane made its second powered flight today. The piloted vehicle was powered by a hybrid rocket motor to over 105,000 feet. The engine burned for 40 seconds, zipping to Mach 2. SpaceShipOne is one of several projects competing for the $10 million X Prize. Slashdot mentioned yesterday that it received a license from the FAA, the first license for a suborbital rocket."

the little company that built the engine for spaceship one? spdv.ob (spacedev). a couple weeks ago they got their biggest contract ever from the mda to build a bunch of satellites. one of them is supposed to have a laser??!! my buddy and i over beers were talking about how they will eventually combine the satellite laser technology with rfid and start zapping unprofitable demographics as a drag on the us economy (that is, if cigarettes haven't killed you already)
