[QUOTE]Originally posted by B.J.: [QB] Mark: To be fair, they did keep it under wraps for a long time before they went public. And if anyone can do this (and did!), it would be Burt Rutan. As for the prize money, it's been pointed out that these teams aren't in it for the money. If you can't understand why, then you obviously shouldn't be in the competition. For a comparison, I read an article today about the prize Lindbergh collected after crossing the Atlantic. He spent $15K to win a $25K prize, which is the equivalent of spending $163K today to win $271K. He wasn't in it for the money, either. B.J. [/QB][/QUOTE]
