So, it is back to money again...not to hard to get an undergraduate degree in physics, they actually offer classes at the high school level. Many of the new space adventurers are brilliant, all can buy engineers, that still does not give them a proven record of the very serious and safety concerns of strapping people and/or equipment to large sticks of dynamite, or that tax payer's should fund them. The bottom line is that that many of them are getting federal money and they need to attend to the rules of spending that money. We should all be concerned about how that money is spent and who gets it, not just billionaires with physics degrees. Let them prove themselves with their own multi-billions, then I'll be glad to kick in. The old companies have proven themselves, and at the same time are adjusting to new business realities. It is not an overnight process. I will get back to my original point, new is never good if you don't acknowledge that your new is built on the experience and hardwork of the old.
