The NASA admin, Sean O'Keefe just spoke there. They've come a long way from anti-commercial attitude of Dan Goldin.

Somebody at NASA finally realized that if they want to get back to the NASA of the 60s and into true exploration, they need a cheap and easy way to get out of the satellite hauling and repair business. The X-Prize (or its descendents) will be the way they do this.

Please post play by play as much as possible. Some, like me, do not have the privileges to install plugins and going through the process of having sys admins install them takes too much time.

Thanks.
