Space me bitch

I'm sure you've all now heard about the Ansari X-Prize being won and all, there's been a slew of info about it along with news that it's going to morph into an X-Prize Cup grand prix thingy.

For various reasons the main thing that's gotten me excited is Bransons proposal:



Thing is, this guy doesn't fuck around. He rekons he'll have sub-orbital flights for up to 5 passengers at less than 200,000 USD a head, WITHIN 3 OR 4 YEARS!

I almost believe him. He's got the money, the irritating entrepreneurial go get'em attitude that always pisses me off about the successful, and it's a fucking cool idea.

Also someone else is upping the ante to orbital insertion.

Hee hee, 'insertion.'
