Nope. The June 21 attempt will not meet the requirements of an
X-Prize flight.

Perhaps it's just sloppy wording on your part but this is
an incorrect statement. The X-Prize involves two flights,
if the June 21st flight is the first of a pair of flights
meeting the X-Prize requirements then it would indeed be
an X-Prize flight. Aside from the flying within two weeks
criterion, the flight certainly looks to meet all the other
X-Prize requirements.
