Just an interesting article on John Carmack's attempt for the x-prize and his progress on his rocket.

Good quote:
"Effectively, I stopped buying Ferraris and turbo-charging them and started building rocket ships."

Don't miss their cool crash videos.

One small step for man, one giant step for dorkdom.

I never heard of the X-Prize, but thats an extremely good idea. Props to whoever set it up.

Their Material Test was pretty cool to see... John Carmack setting his shoes on fire is something you don't see every day (even if he isn't wearing them at the time).

One day he'll build a base on Mars and we all know what happens from there..

[fraggle]

So instead of the UAC its going to be the AAC?

[Scuba Steve]

That would make for some extremely good DooM3 Press.

[Disorder]

And a lot of casualties.

[DooMBoy]

As well as a horde of demons hell-bent on taking over the universe.

Agreed.

"Remember when demons tried to take over the universe and humankind was enslaved? Now you can relive those days with Doom3..."

[Aliotroph?]

LOL

Just think though, when we buy DooM instead of warezing it we are funding the scientific and technological advancement of mankind! :D

That's one small step for man, one giant grammatical mistake for mankind.

I bet they considered naming their company "Union Aerospace" but thought better of it.
