Da Vinci Project Postpones X-Prize Attempt
brainstyle writes "To some people this won't come as much of a shock: the Da Vinci Project's inaugural launch has been delayed. I'm a Canuck, so I'm rooting for these guys, but it always felt a bit iffy. The Canadian Arrow team seems to be doing things a bit more intelligently, so if any Canadian launch works, I'd bet on that one."
I wouldn't put too much stock in Canadian Arrow. The first picture on their home page apparently shows a giant soda cup drowning in the ocean.
Also don't forget to remind them about all the beer they could buy with the X-prize money.

4...3...2...1...Take off eh?
I assume the Kiwi nickname in this case refers to the bird and not the fruit?

I'm glad they are delaying their attempt because the glue gun in this picture has me worried.

How can any slashdot reader not root for our collective idol, the almighty John Carmack, and his crew over at Armadillo Aerospace?

we are already on top of the world
With the hockey season on hold, maybe general excitement over the Canadian X-Prize teams could really .. take off, eh? (Don Cherry could do the colour. Just tell him that the Russians have the only currently working manned-space program, and then stand back.)

This is very true of rockets, especially if they make orbit.
