The 2007 X PRIZE Cup kicks off today at Holloman Air Force Base in Alamogordo, NM! This year the X PRIZE Foundation has teamed up with the Holloman air show to have a joint “Air & Space Expo” instead of two separate events.
One of the signature events at the Air & Space Expo will be the Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge, one of the NASA Centennial Challenges. Last year, only one competitor made it onto the field. This year there are rumors of up to nine teams competing for $2 million in prize money. The Space Task Force will give you updates after the competition. May the best teams win!
Until our next live feed, be sure to check out our video update from the launch of STS-120!

Congratulations to our sponsor the World Space Expo at the Kennedy Space Center! The USAF Thunderbirds flew over the Vehicle Assembly Building (“VAB”) on Monday. Hundreds of workers at KSC came out to watch the planes do a series of passes over the main industrial area where the Space Shuttle is maintained and prepared for launches. This flyover comes almost exactly 6 months before the start of the World Space Expo and the highlight show, an Aerial Salute to NASA with the Thunderbirds as the headlining act.

The World Space Expo (WSE) is a large-scale public outreach event happening at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center November 3-11, 2007.
Celebrating 50 years of space exploration, WSE is an immersive experience of historic and modern exhibits, interactive presentations, rarely-seen demonstrations, and engaging general sessions with astronauts and industry personalities.
Space exploration will act as the feature attraction to showcase Aeronautics, Space Operations, Exploration, Future Electronics and Earth & Life Sciences.
The first weekend of the Expo will feature the US Air Force Thunderbirds and the US Army Golden Knights in an aerial salute to NASA.

“Let’s Go!”
These were the words spoken by Russian Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin as he embarked on the historic first manned space flight on 12 April 1961. Twenty years later on 12 April 1981, the US launched the first space shuttle flight. We think that’s something worth celebrating – so we do! Every year on April 12th Yuri’s Night is celebrated all around the world – last year there were over 90 events or parties held in over 30 countries worldwide – and 2007 looks set to be even bigger. The range of events is as diverse as the people who hold them – even the residents of the International Space Station have been known to join in the fun!
Whether in someone’s living room, a swinging nightclub or a world-class science museum, Yuri’s Night events all have one thing in common – people who are excited about space exploration and who want to join together to celebrate it.
