The Canuck da Vinci Project has thrown its hat into the X-Prize ring, announcing today that they will make an attempt at their first flight on October 2, 2004, just a few days after Scaled Composites' first attempt.

Rand Simberg has the goods (check his comments, too).

You can also find a good collection of links about this at the Ansari X-Prize Space Race News site.

This NASA site is a great place to start your virtual exploration of the Red Planet.

I would love to go there in person someday. Not likely to happen, but I can dream.
