Those caught in the whirlwind of the personal spaceflight business-the builders, shakers, dreamers and schemers-will be found this month at the Wirefly X Prize Cup, set for October 20-21 in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

Given the sweep of hardware and plans to be detailed, it’s clear that future ticket-holding space voyagers can pick from any number of vehicles to start chalking up frequent flyer mileage.

“The Wirefly X Prize Cup is a one-stop-shop where you can meet your peers, potential customers, potential investors, and lot of fellow space enthusiasts … all at the same time,” said William Pomerantz, Director of Space Projects at the X Prize Foundation in Santa Monica, California.
