Indeed, the craft was impressively small and lightweight (about the size of an SUV) and relatively cheap (about $20 million, compared with the $400 million-plus that NASA drops on each space-shuttle launch). But don't call your travel agent just yet. Melvill made it to just the edge of space, only about a quarter of the way to the International Space Station. And he ran into a scary glitch: during...
