There's a 10 million dollar prize being awarded to the first privately funded company that makes two space flights within some time period.
SpaceShipOne is one of the ones going for it, and their first flight was a success.
They're planning 3 flights in a 2 week period, just to be safe.
Something important happened in our lifetimes, woot!

The first flight was in June. Rutan's team is just going for the X Prize now.
Anyways, though my information was slightly wrong, they are still planning 3 flights in a 2 week period to win the prize.
