Updating the "X Prize in the News Section"

It appears that the X-Prize news section hasn't been updated since June 2003.

This topic is a chance to post recent news articles about the X-Prize. If you see an article with X-Prize in it, tell us about it!

Hopefully the X-Prize website staff can then update the website appropriately.

Okay, here's a list of articles from June to August to start us off.
Each line lists, in order, source, article title, date, and URL.

Media will probably knock doors down when the prize is won.

Media attention will peak when the Xprize is won. Then it will soar, when the first famous person takes a private ride to space.

Has anyone asked Tom Hanks, a big proponent of the Xprize, when he is taking his first trip to space?
