The X Prize for Space Flight

The X prize was going to be the name of the person who put up the ten million dollars. We challenge teams to build a private spaceship that has to be 90% or more privately funded. The ship's got to be able to carry three adults up to a hundred meters altitude, officially space land. And with the same ship, within two weeks, make the flight againa 26 teams entered. Richard branson swooped in, bought the rights to create virgin galactic. i would have never imagined it would have taken 17 years, from two thousand and four to 20 21, for commercial flights,. start at starting, get started. It's taken awhile, lot slower than i thought.
