Now that the award has been… awarded, what’s next for the X-Prize and the privatization of space? Howabout the X-Prize Cup! It’s a 10 day event that happens every year (dates TBD) in New Mexico.
Awarding the $10,000,000 ANSARI XPRIZE is not the end, but the beginning of an annual event called the X PRIZE CUP. Think of it as a cross between Champ Grand Prix racing, the America’s Cup, and the Olympics!
An event where the average person can come and watch the next generations of space vehicles fly, where they can talk to the astronuts, see the vehicles up close, learn about the technology, and begin to dissolve the myth that they will never travel to space in their lifetime.
Here at The Dragon Page, we’re taking donations from our listeners to support this foundation. If we can raise $10,000, the X Prize Cup (think Stanley Cup, minus the ice) will be engraved with the name of the show! We hope you’ll donate a small amount of money and help us get there!
