Then you aren't paying attention to what you're reading, then.

I understand them completely.

Not from your posts, since *everyone* in this thread has corrected you
multiple times.

No, the significant thing is that it requires a craft that can carry a
payload of a few hundred extra pounds, along with the capability of
flying without major refurbishment. This has not been done before.

No? What was the payload capacity of the X-15?

Not much. A few instruments and one person. And the refurbishment part
was a real show-stopper.

You said you read the rules - why don't you know this, then?

What is it you think I don't know?

Pretty much everything, so far.

Except for the whole "carry a payload and be reusable without a long
turnaround time" bit.

The X-15 carried a payload and was reusable without a long turnaround time.

Complete rubbish. You don't seem to know anything about the X-Prize
*or* the X-15.
