New X-Prize team appears

[astronboy]

Hi Gang,

I am not sure if anyone has posted this yet... let me know if they have, but it appears that there is an X-Team that has kept themselves under-wraps until recently. They appear to rely on some classic technology.

Here is a link to their page:

I was going to create a new thread for this since I didn't know where else to post it, but then I noticed this thread here, albeit its seemingly humorous nature, and decided to post it here! ;-)

Here is a real image I thought to share with everyone that was pretty amazing to me...make sure you click on a couple of the links to see closeups of the actual aircraft flying, dubbed "SpaceShipOne", using hybrid solid-fuel rocket engines.

I bought a blast deflector from Rick V. last year. They seem like just great people...again, we need them here at Da Forum!
