Romanian Team Entering X-Prize competition

Posted by timothy on from the enter-away dept.

cripkd writes "Although two days passed already I am proud to announce that a Romanian team launched a sub-orbital unmanned flight. Demonstrator 2 is a prototype to the actual shuttle they will enter in the X-Prize competition, build with 30,000 USD, pocket money, as they say, compared to the other projects. The project's home site is here and an article about the launch can be found here. PS. And it's all ecological as they produce oxygen and water vapours :)"

      Actually, the official response was "Kim, our glorious leader, farted."

      Be careful. Drink water. Stay away from alcohol. A little pot may calm you.

    While I appreciate your generous trolling, you seem to have posted this message on Sunday, September 12th 2004 at 4:16 AM EST, 1:16 PST. I guess, if you were in Hawaii, it still would have been the 11th. However, you seem in be in Nigeria, where it most certainly was not September the 11th at the time of posting.

    All that aside, is it the thought that counts, no?

    I guess they must have captured the head bastard in the Beslan school massacre. This guy is truly a pioneer - he'll be the first son-of-a-bitch to fly into orbit without life support.

    I hope they have the rocket targeted at the sun.
