X Prize Update The X Prize Foundation has rejected a potential contestant on the grounds that its proposed technology was too outlandish. Hungary-based Gravity Control Technologies hopes to develop a propellantless propulsion system by harnessing ambient energy, and use it for space tourism. Two things strike me as interesting about this. One is that the X Prize would reject a potential candidate simply because the foundation found it unlikely they would win. The second is that GCT would even try to enter the contest, since they aren't planning on having a working prototype until 2012, more than 7 years after the completition is over. On an unrelated note, you'll notice I've moved my X Prize link in the side bar from the Cool Links section to the Me At A Glance section, reflecting the fact that I've paid X Prize membership dues (prior, BTW, to this article).
