Oldfart,

Well, sort of…

Rule number three of the X PRIZE states that the vehicle must be flown twice within a 14-day period. Each flight must carry at least one person, to minimum altitude of 100 km (62 miles). The flight vehicle must be built with the capacity to carry a minimum of 3 adults.

The design of SpaceShipOne is compliant with that requirement, but as there was only the pilot on the June 21 flight, it will have had to have carried equivalent ballast to qualify.

It may have qualified, but perhaps not.
