They need to go back to the X Prize or CATS Prize rules. <BR/>I suggest LEO return satellite as Paul suggests or non-return escape velocity that either impacts moon or sends data for (x) days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-16207183179742052742008-06-02T10:32:00.000-07:002008-06-02T10:32:00.000-07:00I'm imagining something like a 1Kg (or less) paylo...I'm imagining something like a 1Kg (or less) payload. Maybe no payload at all just the "vehicle".<BR/><BR/>The wright bothers first aircraft did not look like a DC-3 or a 747, we need to learn to walk before we run.<BR/><BR/>It is key that the prize seem achievable by the tinkerers and dreamers and not just the big aerospace corps. The Bigelow prize was beyond what Armadillo, Masten, Xcor or even Unreasonable could attempt on their own. The 1Kg or less orbiter is not.Paul Breedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024641086551653462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-66881197699527743052008-06-02T10:31:00.000-07:002008-06-02T10:31:00.000-07:00Their contests don't need to make any sense to get...Their contests don't need to make any sense to get zillions of entries because they're The Greatest Corporation in the World. It's still sort of a fiasco in that no-one signing up is actually doing anything. It's more a way to get publicity by signing up for something The Goog sponsored.heroineworshipperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441970270714146188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-28923607612782634142008-06-02T10:11:00.000-07:002008-06-02T10:11:00.000-07:00Robert Bigelow tried something like what you sugge...Robert Bigelow tried something like what you suggested. It's just that his requirements were a little bit harder. He offered $50 million to whomever could orbit a reusable spaceship that carried a crew of four or five and dock with his space station without using any government funding. I believe he called it the America Prize. I understand that SpaceX was considering entering until they won the government COTS contract, which disqualified them and was worth more money anyways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
