Lol, sure would be awesome for burning out grass <img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" /><br />Is this to be a Lunar lander or something?<br /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p> </p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------- </p><p>Wanna see this site looking like the old SDC uplink?</p><p>Go here to see how: <strong>SDC Eye saver </strong>  </p> </div>

nicely done!!!! better landing than last year's X-prize comp. best of luck to Armadillo!!<br /><br />yeah, this is a test rig without additional modules that Armadillo is working on to possibly one day apply to a lunar landing. with their KISS set-up, and a little more R&D, this will go one day, I firmly believe. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

Nice. Out of curiousity, where did you find the link to this video. Armadillo's news page has been quiet. I assume it's because they've been very busy with XPC only a few days away.

Awesome! I can't wait to see this baby fly this weekend! <img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /><br /><br />As it descended for landing the line "Kicking up a little dust." kept popping into my head. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated.

Me too! Is anyone else going to XPC?

Lesseee....do I fly out west and watch rockets fly (or not fly as the case may be) or do I spend 6 hours shooting a models photo and video portfolios, half of it with her nude? Not to mention getting paid to do it.<br /><br />Hmmm...... <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

 

[PistolPete]

Yeah, that's a tough decision alright. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><em>So, again we are defeated. This victory belongs to the farmers, not us.</em></p><p><strong>-Kambei Shimada from the movie Seven Samurai</strong></p> </div>

Why make it a choice, docm? Put the nude models next to a rocket in New Mexico. <br /><br /><br />SLJ

<i>> Me too! Is anyone else going to XPC?</i><br /><br />Not this year, to expensive. I had a Postcards To Space booth there last year, but couldn't make the numbers work this time.<br /><br />Saw an article this morning that said Wirefly was dropping it's support for the X Prize Cup.

That does seem a better design than pixel. Much better landing gear.<br /><br />Good vids. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>
