(via space.com)
This is a tad late, but fresh off the successful winning of the XPrize, Bigelow Aerospace has announced a $50 MILLION "America's Space Prize" for the first privately funded ORBITAL flight. Bigelow is also ramping up the stakes by offering exclusive servicing of his upcoming private hotel/space station to the winner.
Now, it's getting fun!
A Lunar Prize anyone?
