SpaceShipOne safely landed in California's Mojave Desert today, after a brief, wild ride to suborbital space.
The craft rolled more than 30 times shortly after the rockets fired,
but pilot Mike Melvill shut off the engines and kept going up. Radar showed the flight reached 358,000 feet -- well above the 62.5 miles needed for the $10 million X Prize. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/spin2.gif
