My thoughts about the event were along the same lines. I just wish the organizers put a similar summary together at the end of Day 2. It would have been a good way to close what I thought was a successfull Cup. Instead, Day 2 just quietly ended.

Also, I found it surprising that the organizers sort of downplayed the displays from the companies developing suborbital vehicles. For example, the Da Vinchi booth was tucked away in the far corner. And while the X-Cor booth was in the middle of things, they could have done a better job of explaining whether the development of their vehicle current stands.

But these are all growing pains. The next year’s event promises to be even better.
