Florida and New Mexico Compete for X-Prize

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the two-states-enter-one-state-leaves dept.

N8F8 writes "Looks like the fight for the location for the first X-Prize competition is in the final stage. Florida and New Mexico are the finalists. New Mexico is courting the X-Prize officials heavily. Living in Satellite Beach, Florida, it isn't hard to guess where my vote is going! It's too bad Governor Jeb Bush isn't putting much effort into lobbying for Florida though other efforts may be under way. Getting in on the ground floor of private space entrepuraneurism would be priceless. X-Prize officials have delayed the final decision to April 16th."

    yeah, it's just like those people who claim they're from "West" Virginia, as if just saying they're from Virginia isn't good enough.
