In New Mexico...

Made it to Las Cruces and amazingly the free wireless in the motel room actually works. Hope things go as smoothly at the Symposium tomorrow where I hope to live blog if possible.

I expect some announcements of interest during the next several days. Probably nothing earth-shaking but they should demonstrate progress in the NewSpace area.

(One bit of not so good news comes from Leonard David who says on his LiveScience.com Blog that Wirefly has significantly reduced much of its financial support for the X PRIZE Cup.)

I see that Jeff Foust and Rand Simberg are here and will be posting updates.

Check Alan Boyle's Cosmic Log blog for daily rocket reports.

There is also the official X PRIZE Cup coverage at Space.com.

I am not surprised. The switch to the airshow was a measure of desperation to get the numbers up since its boring to even space advocates. I know I am going, but its mostly to network, not to wait for hours for an occasional model rocket launch or a lunar lander prototype to fly for 90 seconds.
