I think Monday's flight will have only the pilot. The X-Prize requires the pilot plus two passengers. My guess it that they will test re-entry and their procedures for a two-week turnaround then do another solo flight. Watch for the actual attempt to be made on the third and fourth space flights.

This is a well known picture of the SpaceShip One. But I want to post the link in case someone doesn't have it.

Here it is.

Ah...

Still it is a very significant step, even if it is not yet X-Prize-worthy...
