Looks like a real race is happening. Maybe we should start a pool who think is going to X Prize.. My money is still on Burt.

If the insulation upon takeoff, or the reentry trajectory are misapplied, the astronauts will truly "hot up...."

But problems meant they were unable to go up again within the two weeks specified by the prize.
The writer doesn't have his facts straight. A competeing team has to FIRST give 60-day notice of intent to try for the prize. Rutan's team hadn't yet given notice, and in any event, there was only one person aboard when they reached the altitude requirement. IOW, the last launch was a test, and only a test, and not an attempt at the prize itself.
