T Minus Who Knows?
Alan Boyle's Cosmic Log addresses the mystery of when the first X Prize flight will take place: "I'll throw in my totally unscientific guess, based more on the holiday calendar than on any inside information. Let's say the first spaceflight comes on July 4, with a fireworks display worthy of the Fourth. Then the suspense could build as the two-week deadline ticks down to the second, prize-winning flight on July 17. That's the anniversary of the 1962 X-15 flight that made Air Force pilot Robert White the first human to earn astronaut wings for a rocket plane flight. If that's the way it happens, you heard it here first." And just a reminder, if you join the X Prize Foundation before then, as I have, your name will be flown on each contestant launch attempt.
