How do you regulate something (space tourism flights) that hasn’t been invented yet?

Rutan comes up with a surprisingly simple rule: You may only sell tickets to the public when the CEO and the engineers have flown their children.

lol

Nice interview, he has a strong vision on the difference between Research and R&D where you’re doing research only when more then half the experts believe reaching the goal is impossible.

He talks with passion, inspirational man this Rutan.

I met Jim because of his mother 3 years later after his death, Linnet was very upset the night i met her. I found her in midnight in the middle of street crying because she couldnt sleep and, most impornt, because she missed Jim. She ask me to find something in the internet – Go Google y write Jim Benson Dies – She said.

It Was a very strange night and not well describe by me in this post. I only know you never know what’s comming in life.

I think Jim was a very intelligent person and he had a very lovely mom. I met her when she was 86 in Mérida, México.

Comment on Blue Origin proposes orbital vehicle by Ken

I am losing interest in this company very fast.

Scaled Composites/Virgin Galactic have been moving along at a snail’s pace, true, but at least their work is innovative and they give updates to the press once in a while.

Blue Origin, on the other hand, has given me NO reason to look up to them. So far, they can’t do anything, except launch a fancy toy up several hundred feet into the air. Ditto to the endeavours of big-talk-no-results Armadillo Aerospace.

Do not call me an enemy of space exploration and science. I’m all that and more. I would LOVE to see Blue Origin be a shining example of private spaceflight. I would LOVE to see Blue Origin achieve everything they have promised for years. And some press information would surely change my mind about them…..

… But until them, they are little more than a fictitious company to me.

Blue Origin has presented information before. In December 2008 Alan Stern gave a Blue Origin presentation at the suborbital workshop. It doesn’t look like they’ve suddenly become much more open.
