X-prize
Somehow I missed it; I stumble across it a couple of days later. I knew the deadline was drawing near and that there would be a mad rush of teams trying to claim the prize. As it turned out SpaceShipOne claimed the price on October 4th (this is the team funded by Paul Allen of Microsoft fame). You can read more at CNN or Slashdot.
It also appers Virgin’s Richard Branson is getting in on the action. He has founded Virgin Galactic, and plans to license SpaceShipOne’s technology for its fleet.
One response to “X-prize”
Yes yest and yes. I must admit that my inner geek has taken over considering spacehip one. They have a cool website with all kinds of info on it. And as for Richard Branson (whom I met years ago on a story) for $200,000 you can buy a ride into space in a few years.
