Anybody who wants to enter should check out http://www.alexking.org/index.php?conte ... styles.php for basic WordPress templates. The contest ends July 31 and the winner will receive an X-Prize t-shirt signed by the X-Prize News staff. how are we going to get the t-shirt to where everyone can sign it? just of our current reporters, we have sigurd in belgium, me in virginia, and spacecowboy in florida (i haven't talked to the other guy in ages, he should be removed). _________________ Cornell 2010- Applied and Engineering Physics Software Developer Also, check out my fractals |

The plan is to ship the shirt around for signatures before it's presented to the winner.

Quote: Oh, and my 7-minute X-Prize speech, newly updated to reflect the June 21 flight that I'll be giving in two weeks (Oh yeah, I'm gonna kick butt). Just curious, who are you giving this speech to? Students at your college? It's always great to see people spreading the X PRIZE message (ideology?). I did my part today: I wore my X PRIZE shirt to work. |

I did my part today: I wore my X PRIZE shirt to work. And it's always great to talk to curious people. ![]() The speech will be given to the 2004 State 4-H Congress (Mechanical & Electrical Category). Hey, don't knock 4-H too hard -- by God, I've never had an animal bigger than a dog in my life (although I could hold my own against a cow if I absolutely had to -- albeit preferably with a 12-ga pump). The State competition isn't really a big deal (there's probably going to be less than 20 people in the room). However, if I win there (which I feel I've got a fair chance of), I get to go on to the National 4-H Technology & Engineering competition, which is held up at Purdue University in Indiana. Which just might be a fairly big deal, depending on how it's run. Three Cheers for Free Trips! (I only wish I'd managed to pull one off to Mojave for the launch...) Ooh! Ooh! An X-Prize shirt! I want one of those! Although I'm going to have to get the Scaled Composites hat first. God, how I'd love to work for Burt Rutan.... Tier 2, here we come! _________________ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering In Memoriam...

Keep up the good work. And Physics I and Cal III is still gonna whip me if I'm not careful. Remember: this ain't high-school Physics and Cal. This is the real stuff. Fluid dynamics. Orbital Mechanics. Electromagnetism. It's just the basics, but it comes fast and hard. And these are university-level transfer courses, so I kinda am already in college. I'll admit, I'm a bit scared of this next semester, but if nothing else, it's gonna be awesome. Sigurd: isn't that nepotism? Yeah, we can see who's gonna win this competition...... ![]() ![]() _________________ American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering In Memoriam...

for some reason i doubt anyone here can beat a professional-level game artist for design (doesn't get much higher than that), regardless of whether or not there are any nepotism considerations.

Humm nepotism ?
![]() No, I'm just doing everything in my power to get the best webdesign I can get. I'll set up a public vote to chose the best design, so there won't be any nepotism ![]() _________________ Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892 |

Granted on both counts. Just figured that it's better for me to bring it up jokingly (and give you a chance to disprove the claim) than for somebody else to make a serious accusation.
By the way, Sigurd, I just noticed your quote from Lord Kelvin (tho' it's likely been there for a while).
