Don't forget, Scaled will win the X-prize, and be the first privately financed company to reach the edge of space..

What is particularly exciting is that when Britain (Starchaser) or Canada (Arrow or Da Vinci) puts a man into space they will will be the first of several countries to do so first privately versus by a government program.
In any case, costs will be driven down by these pioneering entreprenuers from many countries! |

Fresh off of Xcors' web site, an update on pending legislation:
http://www.xcor.com/news-house-CSLA.html I hope this passes soon enough to allow experimental launch permits before the end of the contest. |

Everyone!
Call your congressman to support H.R. 3752, the Commercial Space Launch Amendments Act of 2004. ![]() |

It is getting less and less likely that the shuttle will fly this year. Therefore you can discount any major station upgrades.
I would say the spirit/opps landings and the XCup! |
