Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace, IIRC. I had quite a bit of interest in that one, since it's local, but I didn't really like his crushable nose-cone design.<br><br>(Nilk - 2 too many commas. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=

Hey, since we mentioned the Armadillo, here's a story with a vid clip of a successful test launch. <br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="

In that context: <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>As for Armadillo’s future flight planning, Carmack and crew are staying the course. He added, however, that his group’s prospects are "pretty dim" for getting the group’s larger vehicle up and operating in five months time and attaining the needed permission to fly the vehicle.<hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END-->The five months mentioned is the date the X-Prize expires. <p><!--EZCODE IMAGE START--><img src="
