re: "New Mexico to Host Private 'X Prize' Spaceflight Race"

Diamandis said that the X Prize Cup and Public Spaceflight Exposition is now slated for the summer of 2005, initially working with the White Sands Missile Range, just outside La Cruces, New Mexico. "It will be a couple of weeks about speed and excitement…technology and adventure for the whole family," he added.

"We expect that the first X Prize Cup will actually occur in the summer of 2006. We have a couple of years to get the infrastructure in place," Diamandis said. "We're basically creating a new business model for the whole space business including media, sponsorships…and the X Prize Cup is an important part of that."


Folken A! B, C and D!!! I've gotta make plans to be there. But wait, Summah in the desert? Uh oh. May I suggest Novembah?
