A Canadian team, the da Vinci project, has developed a ship called Wild Fire and hopes to be ready for its first ascent in September.

For the conspiracy theorists it should be noted that SpaceShipOne is funded by extremely wealthy ex-Microsoft man Paul Allen while Wild Fire is funded by rival Sun Microsystems and Autodesk. They spent about $3.8m while SpaceShipOne spent about $20m.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.

A little competition can't hurt. Maybe now the attempt will make the first 5 minutes of the major news-casts.
