Canada's attempt on this X prize is soposedly in August sometime. http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/arrow_xprize_040511.html | June 23, 2004, 2:54 AM |
| Hostile | Yeah, I read up on it a bit the other day too. Its just rediculous how silly the spaceship supposedly thing looks, and it barely looks like it will even make it out to space. But for a 10 million dollar prize and a little bookmark in history I suppose its worth it, right? :P | June 23, 2004, 3:53 AM |
| Tuberload | I think it could be the start of civilians going into outer space if it proves to be feasible. | June 23, 2004, 4:04 AM |
| LW-Falcon | Yea, I think so too. | June 23, 2004, 12:07 PM |
| j0k3r | Maybe only for the wealthy, I'm sure it will still cost thousands to get it out there and everything. | June 23, 2004, 1:03 PM |
| asdf | My dad's company Versalogic sent boards for one of the spaceships participating in the X-Prize (Forgot which). Versalogic is located in Eugene, OR. Edit: Not sure if it's for Space Ship One. | June 23, 2004, 1:10 PM |

| Arta | Yeah they did, $15m iirc. | June 23, 2004, 2:06 PM |

[/quote] Everything starts out expensive and then eventually comes down in price so that the rest of civilization can participate. It is only a matter of time. I just hope it happens sometime in my lifetime. [quote author=Arta[vL] link=board=2;threadid=7398;start=0#msg66799 date=1087999582] Yeah they did, $15m iirc. [/quote] Watching the news this morning they said it was at $20m+ and it was on a shoestring budget. It’s funny how everything is always made cheaply. | June 23, 2004, 5:51 PM |
| Jensen | all I otta say is, "More portholes!" | June 23, 2004, 9:27 PM |
