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

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? |

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. |
