 Caerdroia: Space Ship One   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The reason for this is that all of the incentives for the government and its contractors are to make getting to space, and operating there, as expensive, difficult and time-consuming as possible, so as to preserve their jobs (in the government/NASA) or profits (in the space contracting businesses).
Like Pioneer's Pathfinder, Space Ship One is attempting to solve the hardest problem, that of getting out of most of the Earth's atmosphere, by using the atmosphere, rather than fighting it.
Space Ship One also uses jets to get out of the lower atmosphere, but in this case the jets are mounted on a carrier aircraft called White Knight.

For companies and individuals building suborbital rockets aimed at the civilian transportation market, government indecision and bureaucratic wrangling about flight certification, licensing, and overall regulations is proving to be a greater obstacle than either the laws of physics or financing their sky-high projects.
While the shuttle accident was an stark reminder of perils often overlooked in space travel today, competitors in the X Prize competition to put humans in space -- many of whom will ride inside the vehicles they're building -- maintain that their missions are still go.

 Space Ship One - First Flight to Space
When Space Ship One seperated, its rocket fired for approximately a minute and a half, boosting it to nearly three times the speed of sound.
At one point, there was a minor trim control problem, causing the final altitude to be 328,491 feet instead of the target 360,000 feet, but still high enough to qualify as a space flight.
We were able to monitor radio transmissions on a scanner, including the countdown to rocket firing, and were able to see its trail up the sky until engine cutoff.

Late during this powered phase, one of the motors which control the trim adjustment malfunctioned and although Melvill quickly swapped to a backup system the ship wasn't quite at the right angle as it climbed.
The initial goal is to win the $10 million "Ansari X Prize", which will be awarded to the first privately-funded group which launches a pilot and two passengers (or the equivalent in ballast) into space, and then repeats the feat within two weeks.
For instance, today's flight into space is actually the fifteenth flight that SpaceShipOne has made, most of them as a glider, but others under its own power (it broke the speed of sound during its first powered flight, while climbing at a forty-five degree angle).
