Yup, you're right. I forgot about the 3 person payload requirement for the x-prize. Thanks for reminding me. But it shouldn't be long now.
Oh, and I really think the SpaceShipOne will be the winner. but some other might swoop in with an old traditional capsule on a rocket design and grab it.
SpaceShipOne is by far the best looking of the x-prize contenders.
