COTS and other "New Space" stuff

Hobbyspace.com has a series of links to NASA Commercial Orbital Transportation Services programme stuff about PlanetSpace, various reports and links to videos, which you could have seen a long with a bunch of others on Hyperbola months ago

Industrious Clark Lindsey at Hobbyspace.com has also been mining the FAA website for any announcements regarding the secretive Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin project; has found an interview with Virgin Galactic president Will Whitehorn where he apparently says that commercial flights will now start in 2010 - I'll be seeing Will on Thursday so expect confirmation or not about that from me on Friday - and finally, Clark has some detail about the third space investment summit

And another "New Space" topic is the Google Lunar X-Prize with this spaceref.com link to a press release about an announcement this Thursday
