(John Ordover) :

John Carmack

But isnt' that a lot less than the X-Prize would require? And how,
exactly would it be profitable? I'll take the bet, but you'll have to
turn a profit to win.

John Ordover, you are an idiot. When John Carmack is finished reaching his
goals he will have a working personal rocket that can take him and others to
the edge of space itself. You on the otherhand will still be stuck in the
dirt talking about winning a bet because he did not do it by 2004.

I would say between winning the bet or getting a flight on John's rocket 99%
of the readers of this usenet group will op for the rocket. As for the
x-prize that is just a way to make a profit fast, profit is always profit and
John's long term plans include making a profit in the future without winning
the x-prize.

Or do you think you know more about how to make money than John Carmack?
