Burt Rutan's SpaceShipOne has completed its second flight into space (defined as 100km). The coverage on space.com seems to be running behind events (and in any case appears to be slashdotted at the moment), but NPR says the craft landed successfully, and the altitude has been confirmed by radar.

All you other contenders can kiss ten million bucks goodbye, but thanks for playing.
