Whats the purpose of the ANSARI X PRIZE?
To speed the day when well be able to travel into space the way we travel on commercial airliners. To show the world that space need not be the exclusive domain of government. To inspire a new generation of heroes. To teach our children that dreams can come true. To bring the entrepreneurial spirit of people like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison to the domain of space. To open up the last great frontier to all people, and bring the benefits of space-bound energy and resources to Earth. To spark the birth of the private commercial space industry, in the same way that the Orteig Prize, won by Charles Lindbergh, sparked the birth of the private aviation industry These are the many purposes of the ANSARI X PRIZE.
