SpaceShot developments

SpaceShot, the company offering skill contests that give people the opportunity to win a trip to space, made a few announcements yesterday. (The press release isn’t on its web site, but can be viewed on HobbySpace.) In brief, the company is setting up a Latin American unit and announced a new round of angel funding that will be used to develop a new site to be launched in the first quarter of 2007, including “new prizes, prices and a simpler version of the company’s unique on- line skill game.”
