This flight didn't reach the altitude the x-prize requires, I think. (x-prize requires two 300,000+ foot flights using the same plane: that was a 200,000 foot flight). Still impressive.
I'm rooting for the Da Vinchi project. Their budget is under 10,000,000$, which is more in the spirit of the competition. =)
