Diamandis Predicts X-Prize Winner Within One Year
drix writes "Things are moving along for the X-Prize. The FAA is currently in the process of approving a launch site for competitors, several of which are set to launch "within the next few months." Perhaps most exciting, Peter Diamandis says he expects a winner within one year."
that's right. lookout bullow. it's not just US that's peaced off.
the road (show) to ruin is paved with fauxking self-absorbed greed/fear based corepirate nazi execrable, in this case.
you can pretend some more if you want to/must, but it won't help you/US.
the lights are coming up now. pay attention (to yOUR environment, for example). the winds of change are whipping stuff up right now. see you there.
In other news, Lance Bass is willing to give 11 million dollars if he is the first guy to reach space in a private craft.
It should also be noted that he is willing to spend $45.67 to anybody who is willing to give him any press at all.
He's teaming up with SCO's PR people at the moment.
Thanks.

This is one story I would have to say is getting a lot of money to the hosters. The advertising on that webpage takes up almost as much room as the article. The text body of the article was even interrupted by an advertisement for a something (a DVD player, I think) which has absolutely nothing to do with the news story and a Travel agency's website popped up in the background.
I know that's a little off topic, but it should be taken into consideration when articles are approved. I'm sure an alternate place reporting the same thing could have been found if enough effort had gone into it.
ALso, I noticed on the site they said:
"Correction: AP erred in reporting FAA approval; agency still considering teams' applications"
I'm just pointing it out because I thought it would be at least marginally relevant.
