Which upcoming launch are you more excited about?

[spacefire]

Atlantis or Ansari?<br /><br /><br />I think a member of the Ansari family flying in space is a very important milestone for commercial space services, since they sponsored the X Prize.<br />I will draw even more attention to the X-Cup and also to women in space exploration.<br />And , more specifically, help promote the emancipation of women in Middle Eastern countries. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>http://asteroid-invasion.blogspot.com</p><p>http://www.solvengineer.com/asteroid-invasion.html </p><p> </p> </div>

KEPLER!

Atlantis, by far. I want to see ISS move toward completion as the shuttle, the most capable spacecraft in the history of mankind, finishes up its career.<br /><br />I'm actually not too thrilled with the taxpayer funded ISS becoming a playground for the super rich.

Armadillo hover tests and boosted hops are near the top of the list, to be sure. http://hobbyspace.com/nucleus/index.php?itemid=2241 next up Falcon I , and hopefully a salvo of launches at X-Prize CUP this year <br /> EDIT: Armadillo just posted an update, several nice tethered hovering flight videos but weather prevented them from doing real boosted flights <img src="/images/icons/frown.gif" /><br /> http://armadilloaerospace.com/n.x/Armadillo/Home/News?news_id=333
