The creator of the X-Prize is now publicly narrowing down the teams that he believes will win it. Rutan and Carmack'
s entry, the Black Armadillo will probably be succesful next year in flying to space. Rutan will probably win it, but Carmack's design may have some key advantages with high-flight rate operations. The rockets he's using will be extremely cheap and reliable, probably better than what Rutan's building. Once the X-Prize is won, Carmack could end up being the more succesful company.

The project is "one I think might lead to a renaissance that will provide jobs for all you young test pilots out there," Rutan said.Uh oh.
One of your mortal enemies is out there.
Someone is creating jobs.

This is so cool! Rutan has been a pioneer in thinking outside of the box for a long time now.
I hope he succeeds big time!
