SpaceShipOne Set To Take New Trip To The Edge Of Space

Private rocketship SpaceShipOne reached an altitude of 337,500 feet (101,250 meters) on Wednesday on the first leg of its bid to capture a 10-million-dollar prize for manned space travel, officials said. The official Ansari X Prize judging committee said the figure remained subject to verification from equipment at nearby Edwards Air Force Base, but the initial data showed SpaceShipOne had surpassed the 328,000 feetmeters) considered the edge of space. SpaceShipOne will need to make another flight into space within two weeks to win the prize offered by a private foundation seeking to promote space travel.
