When do you think the X-Prize will be won and by who?

I say, Scaled Composites will fly SpaceshipOne on July 16th and again on July 24th.

other teams are also well on their way, including the Canadian Da Vinci team headed by Brian Feeney, which has secured a launch license in Canada.




I missed that license issuing.  That makes 2 teams and a non contender with licenses.

Not much of a discussion when you do that

 

You could at least suggest some alternate dates like the 4th of July.

I know but that depends on thier schedule which may change due to logistics, maintenance or possibly competittion. And I did not absorb thier published schedule to work an estimate up with. Your's seems reasonable.
