I've actually talked to him about that. He just doesn't take private

I find it hard to take private anything seriously either without a
viable business model.

Whatever one may think of Richard Branson's antics, it's hard to deny
that he's a very successful business man. He thinks he's got a viable
business model for suborbital tourism; in fact he's sufficiently sure of
it as to invest large sums of money in just such a venture. Anyone is
free to disagree, of course, but who has more successful business
experience?

Best,
