The big news of today, I think (since somehow my invitation to the Executive Summit for the X-Prize Cup got lost in the mail. Or something) is that John Carmack almost has a license to fly tomorrow for his attempt at the Lunar Landing Challenge? The catch?

He must answer these questions three. You know, like what is your favorite color?

Well, not really. Actually, the questions three are three successful flights today, when the crowds aren’t present. I’m informed that if he can do that, then he’ll have permission to fly with folks present. At least that’s what I was told late last night. But Alan Boyle says that they only have to perform a single hover test.

Anyway, I’m heading up to the airport shortly to see how it goes. Or went, if I don’t get there in time.

By the way, I see that Robin Snelson has been doing a good job of keeping up on what’s going on here. Just keep scrolling.
