Odd, how the government is basically dumping NASA saying private

That's an interesting point.

40% of their main transport vehicles have crashed killing everyone
aboard and nobody got sued. Let's see how Rutan does with his first
crash.


You're against private enterprise? Don't you think they've consider this
in
their business model?

I don't have a problem with private enterprise but don't expect them
to do anything that does not make economic sense to them.


So, then why the comment about Rutan? He (or anyone else) will do what makes
business sense. I get no feeling he's backing away from spaceflight.
