How cool is this?!

Alternate space travel for anyone who has the cash!

"The first privately launched spacecraft was succesfully launched this morning in the Mojave Desert. If the judges agree that it meets the criteria of the X Prize, the winners will receive $10 Million in prize money."

Check Out this Article!!!

Um, only if they can do it again on Monday, like they plan. The X-Prize goes to the first team to succefully launch a man into space TWICE in one week. Or maybe it was two weeks....

I guess I'd better go read the article...

14 days is the alotted time span for two sucessfull tests.

But, the end idea is to have a shuttle that is capable of bringing passengeres, who are willing to pay, on a little Zero-G trip. I wonder if this tech will catch on, and perhaps pave the way for the next leap in space travel. (well, getting there atleast.)

That's the theory any way. BTW: According to /. it was a successfull trip.

hehe cool, but yet another way to charge alot for something.... ><

Doesn't that thing only stay in space for a minute or so? Seems like not very much for that type of money.
