Space Video of the Day - 071005

Yesterday wasn't just the anniversary of Sputnik. Three years ago SpaceShipOne, built by Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites, won the Ansari X-Prize by being the first private manned and passenger-capable vehicle to rocket up past 100km in atltitude twice within the space of two weeks (the Scaled team actually did it twice within five days). Today's space video of the day shows (I believe) Brian Binnie on the winning second launch.
