I brought this up to him
I sent a couple emails to him. Once I got a response from him and posted it here. I had brough up the fact that the englishman will launch a one man rocket before he does. 'Rocketman' just commented on the x-prize as something out of his reach and that he doesn't need $10 million ($5 million really) to encourage him to launch. his answer seemed to be a little off base, I don't know if he read my email to quickly or whether he didn't know what I was talking about. (must be that attention deficit thingy)
