If you are gonna be a billionaire, at least be a Branson.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

I might be wrong, but I think Branson is sniffing the possibility to pose as an european musk - providing private space services.

He was the original space billionaire before Musk was even a sperm in his slave owning dads ballsack.😁

I know. that's why I mentioned. Virgin galactic was a fiasco if I remember properly.

While the idea of space tourism fizzled out, the technology didn't.
What happened was that Musk got money from the US Government to produce Big Dumb Boosters 2.0, leading the US down a technological space-drain.

The technology itself is still doing well and kicking, and is slowly being developped into a cheap and good launch option.
Moral of the story: Musk fucking things up as per usual.

let's see if something less elitist and silly than space tourism pops up out of his bowler hat. I hope we'll keep pushing just european space industry, not private. Billionaires are not reliable, in any case.

Well, and then Trump back-stabbed Ukraine.

He did indeed do that.
