SpaceShipOne takes the X prize!
I don't have anything more to add besides "how very, very cool!" but Dan Gillmor says it's "A wonderful day for space buffs, and humanity. People will soon leave this planet, to live permanently in space and on other worlds, and this achievement is one huge step along that path." That's why he gets paid to write columns and I just say things like "cool!" a lot.
