He has saved many lives flying in very difficult conditions and he has inspired generations of Inuit children. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/north/legendary-inuk-bush-pilot-flies-past-aviation-milestone-1.6203604

  3. The plaque on the Moon reads: -"We came in peace for all mankind" From the get go; this whole business involved young guys who had the right stuff and no bad intentions. Will women want to be flown to the Moon knowing that it involves the blue stuff and no intention whatsoever?

  8. I am a great fan of space exploration. I was born in it's age. Sputnik, Mercury, Apollo, the U-2s, STS, the ISS all the way to the Moon again and Mars. Those programs were necessities. We needed to explore space 1)to defend ourselves and 2)to ensure a future.. Branson ought to have faked it at 007 Studio at Pinewood Studios. That would have been a remarquable achievement. This, today, was more of what got us to Bingo.
  9. All billionaires should be lauched into space. The contentious issue is welcoming them back to Earth or not. There should be a 100 billion (USd) dollar re-entry fee applying to them; according to me.
