*** PREVIOUS RESULTS *** Last week, AVweb asked readers to go out an a limb and predict the results of the X Prize race. At that time, SpaceShipOne had one successful launch in the bag but had only 10 days to accomplish a second launch. One week later, we knowhow the X Prize turned out — and 70% of you guessed right! A more cautious 12% of readers thought that 10 days was a short turnaround time for a successful launch. 15% of respondents expressed some concern about last Wednesday’s roll. Only 3% of readers held out hope that one of the other X Prize competitors might steal the $10 million Ansari prize at the last minute.
*** THIS WEEK’S QUESTION *** Controllers. If you’ve been reading AVweb recently, then you’ve seen that there are some differences of opinion regarding what controllers do all day and whether or not a shortage is imminent. Were you appalled byJane Doe’s letter to AVweb? Were you appalled byNATCA President John Carr’s public response?
