My favorite quote from this article:

"Startups and aerospace giants are still deciding on how they'll get the public to accept the new technology."

if there is one thing I have learned from start-ups, they mostly go bust. Or it’s never the timeline they give.

I just don’t see how it can be economical or practical to fly 2 people from ABI to DFW...it’s all for show.
