Sorry about the whole losing the race thing. I had a complete drive failure and lost the original files for that logo, so if you kept it, you have the only high resolution copy of that file in existance... ...and yes, it would look good on a mug. -K Adam,

So there's still time! Actually, to claim the prize, I think you have to send three people to space and back twice within a two-week window. So there’s still time!

This has strongly discouraged those of us who were originally anxious to pour money into the effort, as did: 2) The rather rapid shift from the original concept of splitting the $10,000,000 to your "This Man in the Moon's got a $10 million payday comin', baby!" remark. On the plus side, the concept drawing for the animated series is awesome. One question: is that roborat or Bush on the left? Just a couple ideas, not to be Mr. Downhead, but:

C'mon, Adam, hurry up and completely revolutionize the marketing, distribution, and sale of computer software, or <i>something</i>, for crying out loud. Then maybe we'll have a chance. You can start with that TV show you're writing. Make it about...a crazy family with wisecracking kids, inept parents, and whacky next-door neighbors. No one's ever done that!

Oh, and I'd love a mug... but it has to be a space mug, so I can drink my morning coffee upside-down. Yes, make the series about a wacky family - and the dad is a space nut who's building an X-prize prototype in the garage. That way you can have the actor playing the dad assemble the vehicle for free and you don't even have to pay for materials. P.S. Don't let the wacky neighbor's wife see it, she's a Russian spy!

Adam!!!!!!!! It's ok, guys. We could have done it if we had had $20 million to spend on the prototype. Someone got a beach house?!?!?!?!?!? Adam!!!!!!!!

The scenario is rife with comedic twists and the kind of wry, subtle humor we've come to expect from TV. BTW, while you've got 'em wrapped around your finger, tell the suits to get those astoundingly distracting and annoying animations off the bottom of the screen, or they're gonna lose a long-time viewer! That'll scare 'em! Yeah, what ginny said, and then the spacecraft is possessed by the deceased mother of the wacky neighbor, and she is afraid of heights!

But it wouldn't be make-believe if they'd believed in me. It’s only a paper moon, sailing over a cardboard sea. But it wouldn’t be make-believe if they’d believed in me.

We can still win this thing the good-old American way. We'll make a hostile takeover of Scaled Composites! Sure, we're out of money. Sure, they're headed by the most effective private aerospace designer of our time. But if we just borrow against their equity, we should be able to buy the company. Then we split it in two (the "part with the spaceship and profits" and the "part with all the debt"). Finally, we give ourselves huge bonuses (around twenty million or so ought to do it) for brilliant leadership of the "spaceship" company during it's huge success in winning the X-prize and issue a regret-filled press release on the unavoidable market forces that devastated the "albatross" part. Did you folks learn nothing from last week's Reagan retrospective? The 80s are back! I can’t believe you quitters. We can still win this thing the good-old American way.
