Except for the rules of the X-Prize, the details of the X-15, and pretty
much everything else.


Well, if that's true, you'll be able to cite the statements I made that are
incorrect. Please take a shot at establishing some credibility and do so.

It would seem that you errored in your assertion that the altitude of
320,000' was 8,000' short of the X-prize requirement:

Only 120,000 more feet straight up and they've made the first
qualifying flight for the $10 million X-Prize.


That would leave them about 8000 feet short of the requisite 100
km.

Oh? I believe I said it would leave them ABOUT 8000 feet short of the X
Prize requirement. The X Prize requirement is 100 km, by my math that's
328,084 feet, rounded off to the nearest foot. Where is my error?

Every time I've mentioned it so far, you've gotten a sudden case of
amnesia, with a side-dose of "I didn't say that."

**** off.

If you knew of a single statement of mine that was incorrect you'd have
cited it. Your level of credibility has been established.

Hmmm. Mr. McNicoll, in the third message of this thread you said:
"That would leave them about 8000 feet short of the requisite 100 km."
That was incorrect. But, of course, that error on your part didn't
count -- since it was based on ignorance.

Please help to releive me of my ignorance and explain how it was incorrect.
