No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

Not quite, dare. This was merely a test flight. To win the X Prize they have to do two launches within two weeks with a pilot and the equivalent weight of two passengers past the 62mile barrier. They encountered a "glitch" during the flight that threw the pilot 22mi off course in just a few seconds. They said they will have to analyse this malfunction before they officially schedule the X Prize launches. Still *very* cool stuff! I've been watching the progression of the X Prize contestants for years hoping for a day like today.
