Hola List,
I just read that the $10 million X-Prize, an hour ago, unofficially so far, has been won by SpaceShipOne.
I remember a decade ago when the Delta Clipper (the 'flying Styrofoam cup') looked like a contender for the X-prize -- until it crashed. Getting a rocket into space is tricky but doable for the average Joe with determination, some money, and more brains. Payloads, human or otherwise, and the safe deployment and/or retrieval thereof, have always been the difficult part. Congratulations to the SpaceShipOne designers and crew!
