Agree..private 'space' flight, the technology. And, even tho not mentioned, Burt Rutan..a true aviation genius.

I'm sure when the bike maker brothers rolled out their contraption, lots called it a 'nonsense project' too...Good thing they didn't listen to the 'grumps'...

This is hilarious..my, how the wind changes. Not too long ago Elon was a whipping boy, now he's an example of 'true' civilian space flight and the other 2 "B" guys are just amateur pickers..
