You excite the public about space again, that's going to go a long way towards securing a continuing, viable future for space exploration.

A fellow pilot who never married, never had kids and lives modestly by outward appearance was contemplating a ride on Virgin's spaceship as a retirement present to himself. This is not the territory of the rich alone. You excite guys like this and good things happen, be it for a corporation or for government.

Admittedly, I've not asked if his plan remains post crash.
