Day 1 (Part 1) !

Well, today is the day.  Things are behind, but moving along.  UBC-Snowstar is now on the tether and should be attempting it’s first climb shortly.  I understand this is being simultaneously webcast, so you should be able to go to http://www.xprizecup.org/ and see it live, if you want, you can view it there, too…

One of the things I learned while getting my press credentials from the XPrize people (who have been fantastic, by the way) was that the original crane which was to be used for the tether competition weighed 30 tons!  This was too heavy and would have damaged the tarmac, so they had to find an alternative crane.  It’s always something, isn’t it? 🙂
