    To take the X-prize, they need to repeat the flight twice with a 3-person crew (or a single pilot with sufficient deadweight to simulate a 3 person crew). Both flights need to be made within a 2 week period, with no more than 10% of the unfueled weight of the spacecraft being replaced between flights.

    Todays flight was a great test and shakedown, but it doesn't count toward the X-prize competition.
