A New Space Race
The Olympics are fine, but the space-obsessed kid in me is waiting for the race a month later.
SpaceShipOne's initial X-Prize launch is on September 29th.
Wild Fire's initial X-Prize launch is on October 2nd.
The first fully reusable private manned spacecraft to make two flights into space within two weeks wins the Ansari X Prize of $10 million.
Meanwhile, it looks like Armadillo Aerospace and Space Transport Corp. (PDF) are not so close to liftoff (via Kate).
