* OK, I understand that it was a rare instance when in February of this year, Livedoor offered free streaming video of the latest Japanese H2A Rocket launch into space. And in a press conference in December last year, Livedoor's CEO talked about entering the space business within 3-5 years.
* But what interested me was that in a BBC article devoted to the upcoming ANSARI X CUP (small-size space rocket races), that is trying to galvanise the emerging commercial space industry, I found this picture at the bottom of the page. I understand from their website that the ANSARI people are looking at sponsorship, but with no other sponsors named as of yet, that the picture is courtesy of the Rocket Racing League (the event managing company)... Does this mean that Livedoor will use this event to kick off its space business for real?!
* Also interestingly, in the press conference mentioned above, the Livedoor CEO admitted that "At one time I considered taking Space Physics, but the maths was too hard, I ended up giving up". Well if my humble skills can be of any assistance, I just might have to take this particular area over. But first things first: gotta get this Naviblog into the stratosphere first!!
