This is pretty exciting I think. I'm pretty sure Rutan and his crew can pull it off. Though I hope this won't stop the other X-prize teams from
trying too, even if SpaceShipOne wins.

Scaled Composites has recently said that they will attempt a suborbital launch on June 21. If they can launch again within a few weeks, they will
have won the coveted X-Prize:

Their system, called 'Tier One', employs a piggyback system: SpaceShipOne -- which vaguely resembles a cross between an X-1 and X-24 -- is lifted into the air by an unusual jet aircraft called the White Knight.

They'll probably raise additional funding so competition will be maintained. It would make little sense to award the $10 million prize and then drop
any future prospects for struggling start up space companies..
