This photo is of SpaceShipOne, one of the first entries competing for The X-Prize, a contest offering 10 million dollars to the first team that can “privately build and launch a spaceship able to carry three people to 100 kilometer altitude, return safely to Earth, and repeat the launch in 2 weeks.”
Also, it looks cool.
* Note: I just discovered another site that has a larger view of the crew module!
* Update! I just found a whole slew of new photos on the X-Prize’s team site for Scaled Composites, the team that built SpaceShipOne, and I couldn’t resist posting this shot of the cockpit!
