Ansari X Prize finally won by Burt Rutan
Article
The Ansari X Prize is a 10 million dollar reward for the first private venture to launch a ship into space twice within two weeks. The prize was planned to encourage commercial space tourism, and many though it impossible to claim. SpaceShipOne, which made the trip to space on many occasions (this being the first time that two trips happened wihin two weeks), cost more than 10 million to build, but it was supported by funds from Microsoft's co-founder, Paul G. Allen.
Now, who do you think will get to Mars first, Rutan or NASA?
