That won't actually be competeing for the X-Prize. If successful then they will try for it. It will only have a pilot. They need passengers as well.

True, the vehicle needs to carry three people. I don't think any other contestant has gotten nearly this far yet.

Nope, it will be interesting, that's for sure.
