Google XPRIZE

Go Have a read

Sounds Intresting even if nothing comes of it. I heard about this before but this is the first progress I've read on the challange. It's not really much, other that the first team has finished registering. better than nothing though. While I hope this reduces the cost of space travel I can't see myself being able to afford a trip into space in my lifetime.

"Future generations will view the Google Lunar X PRIZE as the turning point of the 21st century, when humanity realized the Moon's critical role for prosperity and survival in space and on Earth."

It may happen in the 21st century but i doubt that the changes that this challenge will bring about will happen before the 22nd century.

Virgin Galactic have gone further, they have a reusable craft that can take passengers right to the edge of space.

I'm looking forward to the day when the random letters spell a rude word.
