X PRIZE Cup and Lunar Lander Challenge About to Begin!

There's no way I can keep up with all of the activities surrounding the X PRIZE Cup. I'm already way behind with all of the news, even if I just concentrate on prizes. You should be able to get great updates and links to more updates from Space.com's X PRIZE Cup site, RLV News, Personal Spaceflight, Transterrestrial Musings, and Leonard David at LiveScience.

Also check the X PRIZE Cup site (see the new Rocket Racing League logo/link!) and the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge site.
