IS it me or it really looks like a V-1 on extacy?

with all of the computers, tracking stations, veteran experts, etc. at NASA...they still manage to lose a spacecraft every now and then... I'd think that trying to get into space on your own is a risk of the highest magnitude.... Not something I'd do, but hey, more power to 'em!

the only way to learn more about something is to take risks. for something like that i'd be more than willing to risk my own life, if i knew someday it'd benefit all of man kind.

the xprize program seems like an excellent way to discover people who would otherwise be unable to suggest ideas on spacecraft. many of the crafts seem capable of at least suborbital flight. maybe one of them will get into space.
