It appears you lack a firm grasp of my argument.  I have no position on you going into business or taking on partners. I will wish your enterprise well, I assure you, as I am a man of good cheer.  I don't want the nanny state involved - plain and simple. I want business to do business and governme...

You are a cut above the usual riffraff on this board, libdave.  I hope you will figure out the search functions and peruse some of the threads started by a few of the folks on this board. FOS, SJC, Polarity, myself, GeorgeWashington, a few others.  A lot of the things that interest you have been d...

Stick to the point.  In my case I do not rely on "Government muscle" whatever that is.  We have the ability to produce an engine that will make inter-planetary travel routine and little more expensive than a flight from NY to Beijing (actually about triple the cost).  It will require a fairly hefty ...

Or, should we find ourselves in competition with other propulsion systems and develop new processes to lower the costs and price in an effort to reap the profits other inferior products might enjoy while benefiting our customers who freely pay these lower prices, would that be exploitative?

Why do you need a government regulated trading board to assist you in such a noble enterprise? I can manage what you are describing without a super-national conglomerate brokering my deals - picking winners and losers along the way.    ...
