It is almost blind faith! LOL

You think of Richard Branson like he is some kind of a God, well, IMHO that is truly ridiculous!!!

> The man has a proven track record that you really can't argue. Look him up, read about

I have read about him, just another business man with a good line of BS!

> There can be a point B in space because you can take things you need with you.

Wishful thinking on your part but with no real evidence to support it! You would be a pioneer, nothing more...

Wishful thinking on your part but with no real evidence to support it! You would be a pioneer, nothing more...

It doesn't mean that at all!!!

Even if there is frozen water on Mars it does not immediately mean that is is usable by humans! You have a very fertile imagination...

> D) I have not ignored what you said. You have consistently FAILED to show me a model

Say what!? You must be looking at your self in the mirror when you make such absurd statement! It is you who has FAILED to show any realistic model that can assure anyone here on Earth that your plan will succeed!!!

You would be a pioneer, nothing more...

> Remember the people who built and maintain this system are far more intelligent than

How do you know that!?

What evidence do you know that those people are more intelligent than me!?

You must be dreaming!!!

That is an absurd generalization!!!

> you start with the personal attack like :-
> "Are you for real!!! "
> "Maybe you are smoking something!?"
> "What a fertile imagination! "

That is exactly how you sound to me! An idealist who is very optimist and who thinks that he can succeed with commercial space exploration just because commercial airplanes have been successful here on Earth! Can you see how silly that really sounds to me? No wonder I make such comments...

> I have asked several times for real evidence.

You have no evidence whatsoever to support your position! In addition, it sounds ridiculous of you to continue to ask for me to provide evidence on my position when I already have done it many times...

> Models I can look at and understand, considering business is my chosen field.

The problem is that there are no business models here on Earth that can prove that your position is any good! If business is your chosen field, I am truly amazed!!!

> I have offered you real evidence of my stand point and you come back with insulting
> nonesense as anyone reading the thread can see.

You have offered no evidence whatsoever that your space commercial activity will be any good! Anyone reading this will see that I am right and that you are wrong...

You are dreaming about space exploration without having a proven business model. Essentially you are just a pioneer...

> Until you stop the personal insults, answer the questions, and provide the evidence
> required to support your possition the discussion is over.

The discussion has been over for awhile now! You have no evidence whatsoever than can support your position!

> I'm sure you will answer something about me taking it too personal and saying I'm
> ignore your 'evidence' but really you've brought nothing solid to this discussion.

This is absurd at best! You would be grounded on the first incident...
