more x-prize to come

the folks behind the $10 million dollar x-prize that spurred private space exploration will create new contests and prizes. they will "launch a series of technology prizes seeking to meet the greatest challenges facing humanity in the 21st century." this seems to be the future of scientific discovery that can sustain itself without government money. those who create innovative solutions and have results will win money, and those who don't, won't. it encourages entrepreneurial people to work for a better world on their own terms and reward results, not politics or grant-writing skills.
