Here I would like to publicly commend the two men of the purest Anglo-Saxon temperament, the breed of those extravagant milord Salgari hated by, and for which in the end but he also had an underground admiration.
This is Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico, and Richard Branson, tycoon owner of Virgin Galactic, spatial expansion of low cost airline Virgin.
Why? Let's start from the second, troubled billionaire, sportsman, former hippie charming, visionary balloon aeronaut: he is building the first private spacecraft in history, the face of NASA, ESA, the Russians and the Chinese. We invest a lot of money, maybe they will earn ten times that number or not, but she tries.
burocratesca Branson instead of a race, the sacristy of the party. Yet he had the courage to invest 200 million bucks in the construction of a spaceport at home for the ship the other one. Heedless of the protests of the taxpayer, and the real risk that the rocket falling back to the head with a clatter.
Two men of the future than once, in short, that would have liked to Jules Verne. Glory to them and to all dreamers.
