SpaceShipOne has changed the face of space travel as we know it. On 4th October, 2004, SpaceShipOne took to the skies to become the first private manned spacecraft to fly into sub-orbital space twice within a week. Soaring at altitudes of more than 328,000 ft, the craft not only broke the 1963 altitude record - set by the US military X-15 rocket plane - but also bagged the much publicised. Ansari X-Prize. Now that space development is moving into the private sector, SpaceDev is confident the technology is going to take off and has laid out a roadmap. In the near term, up until 2005, SpaceDev believes we will see satellite refuelling in space and the start of water-based propulsion systems. Within the next five years, suborbital space tourism will start as well as unmanned planetary exploration. Spaceships will be taking paying humans to orbit by 2010.
