For those who get The Science Channel: There was a show on The Science Channel last night that covered the Space Ship One project up to their first space flight on June 21. The show may have also had some footage from the flight on Friday, I can't remember (it came on at like 11 or 12 last night). I do remember there was some nice footage from cameras/mics mounted on and in the craft during the flight. There was also a live show on this morning that covered the second flight. I missed the show this morning, hopefully they'll broadcast a taped version of it later this week.
The Ansari X Prize Site (http://www.xprize.org/home.php) has links to video of the 3 major flights ("1st Private Manned Space Flight", "SpaceShipOne X PRIZE 9_29 Flight", and "SpaceShipOne X PRIZE 10_04 Flight"). Nice to see some of MS' profits going to something worthwhile...
