MOJAVE, California, Oct 4 (AFP) - Rocketship SpaceShipOne blasted out of the Earth`s atmosphere Monday for the second time in five days, organizers said, staking sole claim to a 10-million-dollar prize for the first private manned space travel.
Organizers said the stubby craft reached an altitude of at least 328,000 feet (62 miles or 100 kilometers) at around 7:51 am (1451 GMT) high over California`s Mojave Desert in the second leg of its bid to win the Ansari X Prize.
