PHOENIX - During an impromptu ceremony, the Federal Aviation Administration on Friday handed California-based Xcor Aerospace the second launch license ever issued for a commercial vehicle that could someday carry people to outer space.

The license represents another significant step toward an era when regular citizens will be able to buy their way into suborbital space, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars per seat.




The Xcor vehicle (Sphinx) is not competing for the X-Prize.  It is purely commercial.
