The first attemp at X-Prize will be made on July 20th 2004, on the

I'd bet a 100 on this date... If all goes well on June 21st, they
announce right there and now that they'll launch -exactly- 30 days
later...

That make a certain amount of sense .. but I think equally plausable is
that the first flight of the two required is this June 21 one, and the
second (and winning) one has already been notified to the appropriate
people and will be 13 days later, on July 4th.
