Another story on Wired News today (here), this time about the da Vinci's Project running into trouble getting insurance and having its launch permit slowed down as a result. The upshot is that even though da Vinci has announced an Oct. 2 launch date for the X Prize, it's possible that not all the paperwork will be done on time to do it.
What if Orville and Wilbur had been Canadian? We'd still be riding around on the iron horse and buckboards. Those "hosers" need to get into the "seat o' the pants" spirit of things and let this project go on. Besides, who doesn't want to see an 8000 pound pipe bomb dangling from a blimp? Canadian daisy cutter.
