Hot damn! The X-Prize will be won in less than three weeks. This will
be a historic occasion.

More details (from spacetoday.net):

"SpaceShipOne... will fly into space for the first time on Monday, June
21, the company announced Wednesday. SpaceShipOne will fly to an
altitude of at least 100 kilometers, a widely-accepted boundary of
space, on the flight. ... The pilot of SpaceShipOne on this flight will
be announced at a later date; Brian Binnie and Mike Melvill have both
flown SpaceShipOne on powered test flights previously. ... Wednesday's
announcement is a break in the tight veil of secrecy that has surrounded
the program during its development and previous test flights, which have
not been previously announced to the public. Scaled said the public will
be invited to witness this flight."
