From MSNBC:
Aug. 9 — A project to create a passenger-carrying suborbital rocket took a major step forward on Thursday, with the first glide flight of SpaceShipOne, built by Scaled Composites of Mojave, Calif. The spaceship was hauled skyward attached to the White Knight carrier craft, then released from altitude to glide under a pilot’s control to a desert landing.
