[Utah-astronomy] dead list -- new TOPIC! SpaceShipOne

So did anyone actually make it out to see the launch and return? I was reading on slashdot, yesterday, about the pilots experiences, and that her reported almost loosing control during decent. I also heard that NASA is talking about coughing up some cash to the winner of the X-Prize. So, is SpaceShipOne the clear leader? Or does you guys have other hunches as to who might win the Civilian Space Race (CSR for Short, and here in, /Copyrighted :-)) /Cheers, James.
