Well, it's over. And not in a good way. In the second attempt of the day today, the Armadillo Aerospace MOD Lander burst into flames. John Carmack, Armadillo's leader, decided not to go for a third try later tonight. There is still $2 million up for grabs with the X PRIZE Cup and, hopefully, next year we will see the other 8 competitors show up who couldn't get their crafts ready in time for this year's event.
