At 6:30am, Pacific Time, a carrier aircraft, called the White Knight, will take off from the launch site in the Mojave desert, and lift the space plane to around 50,000ft before releasing it into a glide. The pilot then fires the rocket motor for 80 seconds and pulls into a vertical climb. He will reach speeds of Mach 3 in the climb, and will experience acceleration of up to 4G. This should give the ship sufficient momentum to coast up to the goal height of 100km, before it starts to fall back to Earth.

Так что из этих новостей следует, что 100 км уже взяты.
