Rules Set for $50 Million America's Space Prize

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the didn't-have-enough-fun-with-the-x-preise dept.

An anonymous reader wrote in to say that The rules have been set for Robert Bigelow's $50 million 'America's Space Prize'. The gist of it is that the winner needs to get a crew of five people up 400km, complete two orbits of the Earth, and then do it again within 60 days. I've got a gremlin and a huge rubber band... now if I only had 4 friends!

    PS - why the _HELL_ is Slashdot having an applet in the ads? It freezes up my browser in Windows for a while. It's getting to be a pain. At the very least, provide some way of turning off Applet ads.
    What, there are ads on /.? Or on any other website?

    One word for you: squid... Never seen ads again since the installation of squid together with a nice redirector script effectively replacing all picture and applet ads with something less distractive.
