The X-Prize Cup will be held Oct. 9, 2005 at Las Cruces International Airport, Las Cruces, New Mexico, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Tickets are just $6 for adults and $2 for students (ages 13 to 18), kids 12 and under get in free! That's quite a deal, especially when you consider what's going to be on display: Some of the world's first privately designed Spaceships.
My wife and I took our daughter to see the travelling circus last month. It cost us $20 per adult, $10 for our daughter (who is 2) and all we saw we're some tumblers, a balancing act and a clown on a miniature bicycle. Nobody flew anywhere in anything. It was a big let down and left little money from the entertainment fund remaining for popcorn or cotton candy.
Compared with the thrill of seeing actual Spaceships; meeting the engineers and designers and everyone else involved with creating ships that will travel through SPACE, the circus was a crock.
So, don't waste your money on the ordinary---take a trip to Las Cruces next month and check out what's coming over the horizon. I don't think anyone who goes will come home disappointed.
Unlike the circus....
In case you're still not sure if it's going to be worth your time, check out some of the Spaceships that will be on display...
