The new space race
2004
Overview
The SpaceShipOne spacecraft may have won the US$10-million X- Prize for private space flight last week, but Brian Feeney, head of rival company the daVinci Project, is not worried. Mr. Feeney believes his team has an advantage over Scaled Composites, the California-based company behind SpaceShipOne. So-called spaceports are vying to become the hub of choice for lift-offs. The Mojave spaceport in California is SpaceShipOne's base, but the X-Prize Cup will take place at the Southwest Regional Spaceport in New Mexico. Although Virgin will start flying from Mojave, it hopes to move on first to Florida and then to unspecified locations in Britain, Singapore and Australia.

Space tourism, once it is launched, will initially involve suborbital flights. In future, however, entrepreneurs envisage space hotels and even moon holidays.; Color Photo: Robert Galbraith, Reuters / Pilot Mike Melvill celebrates atop SpaceShip One following touchdown at the Mojave Airport Civilian Aerospace Test Center in Mojave, Calif., last month. The goal is to eventually carry paying passengers into space.
