With almost assured victory to go to the crew of SpaceShipONE and Scaled Composites, it's raised certain serious concerns on whether or not the other teams intend to finish. For the Canucks, it's a question of did they ever plan on finishing or not:
Some people have suggested our throwing our hat in was a Golden Palace media ploy. Not in the least. This is a serious effort with a lot of dedicated people working long days, 7 days a week. We've come a long way in a short period of time. The folks at Golden Palace.com we're in the shop last week and are committed to the project through the 2 flights even if the X Prize is won. If Burt is successful in his second flight and wins the x prizeprior to us completing our flights, we will still fly and do so a soon as safely can be done. Our time frame is still inside October.
