He's effectively simplified the technology of our Space Shuttle down into something that Third World nations can now copy. Crusader is not the word I would use. How old are you? I dont ask that to offend you, I promise. But I need to understand how you can miss so much of what is being told to you.
You just cant keep making statements like that without losing credibility. As a fellow freeper, I consider it my duty to reign you in. The Shuttle is so much more than what Rutan has created, they are not comparable; not even conceptually. The Shuttle is a heavy-lift space vehicle. When Rutan is lugging defense satellites into orbit, you ping me, okay? I'm done.
"You just cant keep making statements like that without losing credibility." 
Why are you taking shots at me? You know that I'm going to hit back.
You were so unknowlegeable that you weren't aware that the F-117 and B-2A could drop JDAMS from FL400.
In contrast, I did.
You think that $1.2 Billion fighters that can't go Mach 6 and that can't go sub-orbital into Space are our future.
In contrast, I don't.
You are a dinosaur. You're practically back there with old naval captains touting battleships and ridiculing aircraft carriers.
Name one, just one, technical revolution that you saw coming before the mainstream of society had accepted it.
Come on, what concept have you ever spotted on your own before you were *told* what to think?
Just name one.
