To me, this is far more interesting than the X-prize. Development of this and other alternative propulsion technologies is where the future lies for now. If anyone hears any more i'd love to see more links on similar news. |

this is rather cool, but i still like the idea of comersial space flight, i don't think it's going anywhere with gov + i'm not sure if spending money on space is good for gov, though it surely beats most of the projects they r spending money on.... _________________ The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, isn't 'Eureka!' but rather 'hmm....that's funny.'
