Took a look to see if maybe the program I taped has made it to video. It is really and excellent production, about 90 minutes long with archival footage of almost all of the flights. In fact, it shows most if not all of the incidents mentioned on this thread.

Per CNN.com report, apogee was 358,000 feet, well above the 100 km mark needed for the X Prize. One down, one to go.
