Hey folks...... It's just me again.

I thought that to claim the X-Prize that two passengers had to be taken
upstairs as well as the pilot.

Yesterday I saw the pilot during the flight, then waving the flag, but
I didn't see sign of passengers.

Was I blind...... or just misinformed.




You haven't done _that_ enough to go blind, so you must be just misinformed.

Seriously, the requirements were that the craft had to carry a 'load' equal
to two passengers. Rather than carrying 'warm bodies', they had 180kg of
ballast aboard.
