First privately funded space flight!!!
This is a really cool site, with lots of info about the project and pictures of Space Ship One -- a hybrid rocket that will carry 3 people to an altitude of 62 miles. The motor is powered by rubber as a propellant and nitrous oxide as the oxidizer, which are safe and inert compounds until ignited at high temperatures. Quite a bit safer than liquid oxygen and hydrogen.
