Who else is excited about the Ansari X prize?
I am looking forward to seeing SpaceShipOne fulfill the requirements and win the prize.

I really want to see private industry compete with NASA for space projects.

2. Me too
I want to be able to vacation in free fall before I die.

(Actually I want zero-gee sex before I die.)

3. Can't wait 'till Monday!
This will give the money-swallowing pseudo-scientists at JPL and NASA a little to think about!

This is an AWESOME first step for SSO, too...it's an incredibly intelligent design...also a successful first foray into space as a private enterprise!

HIPHIPHOORAY!!!!!

4. I am...
I watched that live yesterday (well, it was yesterday for me). Fantastic stuff. I hope they complete it and it proves viable.
Of course, space travel wil be as bad as commercial airline travel within a few years of it's conception.
