Everything you want to know about the Ansari X-Prize can be found here http://www.xprize.org/.

You could join, but they would ask for your contribution :flame: . But it does help people from all walks of life to look upon a common goal, eventual space exploration and colonization of other planets.

Although Commercial Space Flight is the only one at the moment,they are going to make other prizes as well such as:
Medical breakthroughs
Material Sciences (nanotechnology)
Cold fusion
Beliveable Virtual Reality environments (i.e Matrix anybody)
All which are dubbed "Holy Grails"

One of which is teleportation. Hmm, I suppose when you hear the name Eli, Gordon, or Wallace in the competition is when you want to brick your pants and head off to the Antartic ;) .

I thought the X-Prize was won already? I saw on the news a week ago or something that a commercial spacecraft managed to go into space and back the required two times within a week.

Thadius: Yes. His rocket crashed.

EDIT: Ah, overlooked the site, I see the X-Prize has indeed bee won.
 
The first Xprize WAS won. However, they're now looking at making it both an annual thing, and creating new prizes for steps such as reaching earth orbit.
 
Cold fusion is impossible. They should aim for regular fusion power.

Talk to qckbeam. He has already invented cold fusion. See my quote below.

All you need for cold fusion:

1)Cold
2)Fusion

Simple.

qck has a brilliant grasp on the sciences Sprafa. You should really learn from him.
