But hopefully you can prove them wrong. Perhaps if you ran a survey, then, of whether people would be willing to take a quick 90-minute orbit, and/or a quick up-and-down ride as one might get in XCOR's Xerus, at varying price points? Say, how many would be willing to spend their money to do each if it cost $1,000, $10,000, $50,000, $100,000, $500,000, or $1,000,000? In addition to the survey's data itself, this would give you some targets for follow-up interviews. _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
