Private Rocket SpaceShipOne Makes Third Rocket-Powered Flight
XCOR Aerospace, also of Mojave, California, announced in April it had
received a Reusable Launch Vehicle mission license from the FAA's
Office of Commercial Space Transportation. That license is the first
for a reusable launch vehicle (RLV) that is launched and recovered
from the ground. Additionally, XCOR is now authorized to test RLV
technologies prior to suborbital passenger travel. The company is not
in the competition for the Ansari X Prize.
Then why are they listed on the X-prize page as one of the competition teams?
They're not.
They're not on the list on the front page. They're not on the teams
page:

Where did you see XCOR listed?
