    Tentetive reports look like they made it, although it wasn't completely trouble free, looks like they had to shut the main engine down just a bit early according to space.com, due to an unexpected roll. Looks like they reached a distance of 100.5 Km, just .5 Km over the mark.

    Next attempt has tentetively been scheduled for October 4th (my birthday Yea!), but I wonder if the glitch was bad enough that they'll put it off a few days to review?

    Here's a pretty good video of the flight on MSNBC:

    Melville kept in it for quite a while after the rolls started before he shut her down...
