I don't see why their app should be rejected. Reality will win at the end of this contest, so why not let them in and force them to prove their theory?

If these guys can really harness that energy, the X Prize will mean nothing.

This goal is worth trillions to anyone who reaches it.

Ten million is a joke.

Seating will be provided for 1004 passengers, 25 flight attendants, and operated by a three-person crew. Given appropriate funding, GCT envisions flying an initial prototype of the Space Tourist around 2012.
I don't understand why, if you going to make goofball claims you just don't go all out. example:
Luxurious room accommodations will be provided for 5.3 billion passengers, 500 million flight attendants, while being operated by one high school graduate. It will additionally bring an end to all war while generating 800 point twenty one gigawatts (said exactly like doc brown) of free clean power. It will cost three dollars and forty eight cents per year to run. It also makes great grilled cheese sandwiches.

I don't get it. GCT Pays to enter the contest. The only way that there would be further interest here would be if GCT could actually pull turn the anti/muscle/kill grav wrench.
If so then great. If not, so what?

I'm not so sure about that. They are talking about building a flying saucer. From the website -

The main body will be constructed of a combination of aluminum and titanium parts. The overall dimensions of the Corporate Voyager mirror those of the manned prototype:

GCT's web site seems long on theory and short on experimental results.

There is no such thing as gravity,
the earth just sucks.
