The Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) attempted to send a home-grown space shuttle into orbital space, but during the second stage of it's trajectory through space the Falcon 1 started to spin. The company says it was likely that no fuel could reach the engine because of such. The Falcon 1 reached an altitude of approximately 200 miles into space, but failed to achieve its goal of orbiting the Earth.

They have now succeded (8th Dec 2010) in placing the manned capusle into orbit. It made two orbits before making a successful sea landing. THuis is a company to watch.
