Posted on: Sat Feb 14, 2004 12:18 am The only recent news out of Starchaser is they bought a Russian space suit.
With the exception of Armadillo Aerospace, which has weekly updates, the X X PRIZE teams seem to follow the same pattern: working quietly for several months, then making big news, then returning to the shadows. Starchaser is no exception: they had a flood of news in Oct-Dec: engine tests, sponsors, new design. So I would just be patient. |

Posted on: Tue Feb 17, 2004 9:01 pm fairplay to them a good update! looked good! will be interesting to see if we can watch the rocket get assembled on the webcam now. hope they can get some work done on the final product. Was intereesting to see that armadillo had a good update too, the teams are making the progress show now, and im starting to see a devide between the real contenders and some other teams falling behind a bit. Maybe starchaser could have an outside chance here, it seems everyone has got scaled down to win but i havnt heard what they are up to, it could be closer than expected.
