I saw this on yahoo, its kinda interesting as what is going on with the civilian side of rocketry.

Any one also heard any more on the X-prize status? rumor has it that it will be achived somethime this year.

Now all we have to do is send the first RPGC staff member to space,who volunters?

Vopry does, Vopry does!

Vorpy · May 18, 2004, 4:27pm

I’m not staff though.

Think about that, Vorpy. Do the policy makers ever go on a rocket? Not until after they actually do! So it should probably be a non-staff member.

Yeah, every test program has it’s space-monkeys, so to speak.

So, is it useful for anything?
