when i was watching the coverage on the beeb they said that Rutan is keeping the exact altitude they went to a secret. Is this true or not, and if so why was that.

As an aside to win the X prize the aircraft needs to make two flights in a week. Do they need to carry to passengers as well, or does it just have to be capable of carrying 2 pax and a pilot. Basically does this count as the first of the 2 flights??

Whatever the outcome for the rest, well done guys for being there first!
