Ed Wright, with his rocket racing league, has also been very influential. I know the X Prize Foundation didn't incorporate FAST into their X Prize Cup proposal because they presented before we did. Peter gave a presentation to COMSTAC on the Wednesday before ISDC, and the X Prize Cup was the last couple slides. They want to avoid the fate of the CATS Prize, which expired unclaimed and quietly faded away. X Prize Cup is a logical follow on. FAST is a more logical follow on. :-) Of course, an X Prize Cup race would be a lot cheaper to put on than a FAST program. -R -- Son: Dad, I have a question about women.
