w00t! There It Is! ALRIGHT! This is what I've been waiting for! I'd heard rumors that this might happen, but nothing recently. To mark the Centennial Of Flight, Scaled Composites conducted the first supersonic test flight of SpaceShipOne. While a cold-engine test was performed a few days ago, this was the first powered-flight test of the spacecraft. It was the first manned supersonic flight by an aircraft developed by a small company's private, non-government effort. Scaled does not pre-announce flights, so there's no word yet as to when the big one's coming, but it's probably not too far away.
