Test pilot Brian Binnie made a suborbital flight into space on the second required flight into space winning the $10 million Ansari X Prize. The prize was being offered to whomever makes two flights 62 miles high, an altitude generally accepted as being in space, in two weeks or less. SpaceShipOne made the first successful flight in the attempt to win the Ansari X Prize on September 29, 2004.
