   Actually to win the X Prize, they have to do two flights to the
required 
 height within two weeks.  They may make the next run on Monday.
   I'd feel a bit better about it if they hadn't had control problems on
both
 their flights so far.	Still, it's early and they're breaking new
ground, so
 teething problems are to be expected.	I imagine they'll be much better
at 
 this in a couple of years.

   Supposedly, there's going to be 50 million dollar prize offered to
the first
 group that can put up an orbital vehicle that can rendezvous with a
structure
 in orbit, return, and do it again within two weeks.  That will be cool.
