Yeah, Scaled Composites is definitely going to win the Ansari X-Prize. This is really cool though, I wouldn't mind going to space for a while.

 

But I want Armadillo Aerospace to win!!!

yeah its cool and all but this aint going to go the distance

it willl win the x prize but the ultimate goal of the x prize was for

space travel en mass, like what howard hughes did with planes or the wright bros

i call this a fad, until our technology can advance into better dynamic engines and ways to take off , ill think this like the segway or the concord a tool for rich bored people

 

... and we knew what happened to the concord and Nasa
