Also, I can't help but think of a New Eden NPC corp when I see that logo.

Someone might actually enact one of those 'If I was a billionaire...' type questions.  :D

Quite interesting... if they succeed, maybe finally we'll get some funding for our national space program back.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

It definitely has the potential for this, but considering the guy behind it is one of the major players in the X Prize Foundation...

Well, let's say my skepticism bar is still reading full, but I'm cautiously optimistic at the same time.

PS: Waiting for the darned press conference/webcast thing to start, and the music is just annoying the **** out of me. >.<

I like their career application questionnaire.

7. Bottom line – we build spaceships and explore asteroids. If you need any other motivation to apply, don’t bother.

What name would you give a crash test dummy, and why?

Enjoy!

You know, that's darn near what you'd expect from an EVE corp recruitment page.

*A hideous form emerges from the depths of inactivity*

Possibility that the person who wrote that recruitment sheet is an EVE player? Considering their business matter, high chance.

However, I saw this the other day - seriously hoping its not a scam and this is going to be the first of a serious push for private enterprise into space development.
