There is one big difference between then and now. That is the credit markets. Back then, there was no shortage of people willing to invest. JMPO, but I think that it will be awhile before you see any large investors willing to dump tons of cash in a start up. There is only one Branson, and he's kind of occupied with another start up right now.
