I have devised a technique for drawing an Olympic symbol. My technique is based on the rules of geometric construction that were adopted more than two thousand years ago by Greek geometers. I posted a graphic example of my technique on the web at http://www.geocities.com/scott956282743 … ibit12.htm
In a letter dated August 1, 2004, I suggested to the Director General of the International Olympic Committee that the IOC amend the graphic standard for the Olympic symbol. I believe that the IOC should amend that standard so that the Olympic symbol can be drawn the Greek way -- with a straight-edge, a drafting compass, and a pencil. I further suggested that this amendment be announced during the next Olympic games, which will begin in a few days in Athens, Greece.
The Olympic games bring people together from all over the world. Those games foster international cooperation and goodwill. My plan for the exploration and settlement of Mars is based on the Olympic example and spirit. I refer to that plan as The Euthenia Project. That plan would bring people together from all over this world. Those people would work together to carry out the exploration and settlement of Mars.

Both historically and currently, the Olympic spirit is fiercely competitive. A Euthenia which can provide this and maintain a high level of civility and good humor at the same time would be a very attractive place. Unfortunately, the tensions generated by the competition make sustained maintenance of high levels of the latter quite difficult.
But I do like the way that competition has been build into Euthenia, the large number of experimental domes, etc.

Basically if you look at what the x-prize is. It is a one event sports contest, so the only way to get more companies involved would be to keep it open to competition each year and to introduce the next event for the next stage of the competition.
1 space boundary 100Km soon to be won
2 orbital flight 1 or more revolutions at any distance
3 orbital flight for days maybe weeks
4 Iss trip
Of course each would have a changing prize amount for completion.
