X-Prize Cup/Olympics Planned

sckienle writes "Space.com has a quick article in their astronotes section about the X-Prize committee's idea of an X-Prize competition. Apparently they are thinking about having a 'X-Prize Cup' where 'teams would compete for cash prizes, attempting to set new records.' My favorite quote: 'The notion is to try and bring the money and excitement of NASCAR and Formula One racing into space.'"

In my opinion, NASCAR is nothing more than rich white trash driving in circles for a few hours, sponsored by cheap beer. No talent whatsoever. Any idiot can drive a car. It takes a lot more guts and brains to fire yourself into space on a rocket.

Sign me up, where do I get tickets?

It's called casual grammar on the internet.
I fucking hate grammar nazi's on the internet. They have nothing of value to add to a conversation so they critique spelling and grammar. Trolling for attention is a nice term for it. You poor, lifeless fuck...

Eat some of this...
