“SpaceShipOne,” a civilian-built spacecraft, successfully made its flight out of the atmosphere on September 29 and October 4, winning the $10 million (about 11.5 billion won) prize money given by the Ansari X Prize Foundation. Overseas newspapers reported the triumph of SpaceShipOne as a sign of opening the age of civilian, commercial space travel. The developers of SpaceShipOne are celebrating their joy in front of the spacecraft that just returned to the Mojave Desert.
