An ungracefully looking rocket plane punched through the Earth's atmosphere and then glided home to a desert landing Monday. SpaceShipOne touched down in the Mojave Desert at 8:15 a.m. to cheers and applause.Pilot Mike Melvill took SpaceShipOne 62.2 miles above Earth, just a little more than 400 feet above the distance considered to be the boundary of space. The flight lasted just 90 minutes. Melvill, 63, said seeing the curvature of the Earth was "almost a religious experience." "It was really an awesome sight," he said. "It was like nothing I'd ever seen before, and it blew me away."
