Private spacecraft blast offs June 21

(SPACE.com) -- A privately-developed rocket plane will launch into history on June 21 on a mission to become the world's first commercial manned space vehicle.

The pilot of the craft, still to be announced, will become the first person to earn astronaut wings in a non-government sponsored vehicle, and the first private civilian to fly a spaceship out of the atmosphere.



This is big folks! Think moon landing big, and we'll get to see it!

It's happening. They've had it up 40 miles high already. This is the dress rehearsal for the X-Prize flights later this year.
