	Ansari X Prize - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The X Prize was designed to help encourage the space industry in the private sector, which is why the entries were not allowed to have any government funding.
		The X Prize was modeled after many prizes from the early 20th century that helped prod the development of air flight, including notably the $25,000 Orteig Prize that spurred Charles Lindbergh to make his solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.
		Representatives of the Ansari X Prize Foundation symbolically presented the ten million dollar prize to Burt Rutan and Paul Allen of Mojave Aerospace Ventures on November 6, 2004.

	Interview with Mark Goodstein, X PRIZE Foundation \| socalTECH.com
		The X PRIZE foundation (www.xprizefoundation.com) is the organization behind the Ansari X PRIZE, the $10M award that was given for putting a vehicle into space, and is now setting up a new award and competition in the area of energy.
		For prizes, rules are everything — rules that can spur public excitement and interest and team involvement that the Ansari X Prize did, but have even larger impact — on transportation and energy.
		Prizes have an old background, from the Longitude Prize (which was chronicled in a story and miniseries) and the Spirit of St. Louis, which was a $25K prize that led Charles Lindbergh to fly across the ocean.

	FuturePundit: X Prize Foundation To Offer New Round Of Prizes
		The X Prize success demonstrates that prize money can be a very effective tool for accelerating the advance of science and technology.
		The prize, to be awarded one time only, is aimed at stimulating the scientific and technology research community to significantly advance automated DNA sequencing so that a human genome can be sequenced for $1,000 or less as soon as possible.
		One can imagine battery prizes where, for example, there is a prize for achieving a new record on Wh/kg (watt-hours per kilogram) for batteries that can recharge at least X times (where X would be a number of recharges makes the battery useful for cars perhaps).

		The X Prize Foundation announced yesterday that Brett Alexander has joined the organization as its executive director for space prizes and the X Prize Cup.
		That flight, as well as the two X Prize-winning flights that followed in September and October of 2004, were witnessed in person by thousands in Mojave and many more on television and online–many of whom were probably interested in flying in SpaceShipOne, or another suborbital vehicle like it, soon.
		The end of the X Prize competition also took away an incentive for the other competing teams: one of the flaws of the competition, many of its supporters now acknowledge, is that there was no prize for second place.

		Diamandis noted that the money for some of the early prizes was put up by media moguls, who sought to give their publications new material, and by equipment manufacturers, who were looking for markets.
		He wants today's X Prize competitors to attract sponsors who would relish the ongoing coverage as well as the chance to make a big splash if their team wins.
		While not every technical endeavor would be helped along by a prize (it'd be hard to slap a sponsor's logo on a gene sequence), there are certainly other challenges in transportation, energy, and health that could stand a little public competition.
