Seriously, the X-prize has really lit a fire under private industry as far as space travel. None of these guys is going after the money offered by the prize. They'll spend three times that getting it. It's the ability to be first non-government in space. Hell, the Russians have already turned it into a rich man tourist business. Just ask Timberlake or whoever that ex-boy band guy was.
