Private space Craft explodes.......
 

It says it only took 20k to build, I guess they got the 20 ks worth:1orglaugh

I saw a special on this thing on the Discovery channel. Looked promising too...

Sucks that it blew up. Atleast it wasn't in the millions :)

damn you scared me there I was thinking it was SpaceShipOne which would of had a pilot on board.

Lucky they didn't set the fucking woods on fire -- they should get a ticket for that shit when there are burn bans all over the place.

Maybe they should have spent 40k.

yeah, it's not smart to save on the cooler

How the fuck can you plan to fly to space with 20k $ ?

that's what the contest is all about, making space flight cheap and opening it up for the private sector.

I was trying to be funny when I posted that. It is possible to go to space and not spend billions. The cheap and affordable space travel will probably come from one of these small groups of inventors. Good for them, I hope they keep on trying despite of setbacks :thumbsup :thumbsup

It looks like fireworks to me....

If it only cost them 20 K to build, we could get a 100 webmasters in here to donate $200..........Then have a GFY sponsored rocket launch :Graucho Just imagine the publicity :thumbsup
