Ansari X-Prize Flights

On 29 September 2004, I watched history made as the first civilian flight into space to claim the 10 Million Dollar Ansari X-Prize was accomplished. It was a beautiful morning, and like the first launch, a photographic challenge with early morning lighting conditions and the launch taking place almost into the sun. Here are my 4 favorite shots from the day.
