If you think about it, its pretty amazing that there isn't already a Wal-Mart Spaceship or a Mircosoft X1 Flight Engine. I'm amazed that private (corporate) companies are being so slow to move on this when its been Corporations leading the way on almost all new inventions. I personally have nothing against Corporate or Private enteties. I am just quite suprised that infact this hasn't been acheived sooner. -alex www.jumppoint.org ID: 31741 · |

One of the Microsoft founder supported this project, but he is not so strange like Bill Gates. Allen supports also other science like SETI (I think 40 new little telescopes),... . The whole is more then the sum of its particles. Aristoteles Best wishes from Berlin(52°35'N,13°23'O), Basti S@h Berkeley's Staff Friends Club © member ID: 32660 · |
