The X PRIZE is an international competition for the practical demonstration of the first reusable craft capable of taking three people to the edge of space (62 miles) and back. The X PRIZE is modeled after the great aviation prizes of the 1920's and 1930's. A particular example is the Orteig Prize of $25,000 which resulted in Charles Lindbergh's landmark flight from New York to Paris in 1927. This flight transformed aviation from the category of `stunts' to the beginnings of the multi-billion dollar aviation industry which has linked the world.
