04/10/2004: "X marks the prize"

This is a damn interesting competition and worth keeping an eye on. The X-Prize is a competition to see who will be the first to launch a 3-person manned craft to the edge of space - twice within two weeks.

Scaled Composites' SpaceShipOne just had her 2nd test flight in Mojave cúpla lá ó shin and is one of the hot favourites to take the prize. Ach she is only one of over two dozen combatants battling it out to make history.
There's a wealth of articles ar fáil through Google News but make sure to check the X-Prize website.
