FoxNews is covering the first attempt* from Burt Rutan's Spaceshipone attempt at the X Prize.
• Take off was a thing of beauty.
THEY DID IT! Fantastic landing - a few rolls in the middle but those were mostly expected.
UPDATE: Live Webcast
* To win the X Prize you must make 2 trips to space within 2 weeks. So this is the first attempt at the attempt.

The rolls were not expected. There was a malfunction of some sort.
