It certainly looks like they’ll be competitive in suborbital tourism or small sats if they choose to enter either of those markets with gusto. Their core business of experiments looks like it’s going to get a lift on the publicity. I wonder if other investors will come to the table with even a fraction of the $280M Aabar put into Virgin Galactic.

I’m glad you could come up, Jeff. I hope you’ll be able to come out to more.
