Photos: Chasing the X Prize Cup

Space travel enthusiasts of all ages will converge at the Las Cruces International Airport, New Mexico October 20-21 for the Wirefly X Prize Cup 2006. The program promises a sneak peek at space travel and technology in the not-to-distant future. The twist is that the private sector provides most of the energy for the show.

Rockets in all shapes and sizes will be on display. Some home-made rockets will be launched and others will fire their engines.
