Clearly the companies which will win the private space race will be the ones that concentrate on reentry vehicles. I think that's where Rutan sees the race, and to that end he innovated the third known method of reentry.
Paying customers will be scarce (especially at first), and having the reentry vehicle come back to the surface, safely, every time, will be a biggie. :')

The company's near-term goal is to develop a vehicle that can take passengers on a thrill ride to the edge of space.
