I don't like Burt Rutan, and I don't think this suborbital "White Knight" is going to be the so-called sparkplug for commercial space travel...I'd still pay to go up in it, though.

They are brilliant cut-throat assholes.
So is Burt Rutan.
That is a recipe for success.
I wouldn't want any of them in the family, but I sure want them running companies I invest in.

Particular reason that you don't like Burt? Professional/personal beef?
I know Burt and his is a solid guy.
