Volunteers Needed for Space Launch

Posted by michael on from the leave-a-sign-on-your-door-that-just-says-out-to-launch dept.

BradNeuberg writes "The Ansari X Prize needs volunteers to help at the Scaled Composites and da Vinci Project's launch attempts in the next few months! I've digitized and created BitTorrent's of an Ansari X Prize video that is pretty cool and can tell you more about what we are doing. Want to be a volunteer? Sign up here. I've also set up a carpool and rideshare list for those who can offer or want a ride down to Mojave, CA to see history made."

    volunteer to be the ballast in the space-ship, but they need someone to park their cars

    Considering what happened to Carmack's shuttle, you will be more likely riding into the other world than riding into space. I think it would be safer to wait 10 more years after they announce the winner before plopping down money to fly into space.

    Where's the check box for "I'd like to ride into space"!?!

    Right next to the checkbox for, "I'd like to apply for a Darwin Award."
