Quoting John and Lisa Zeigler <john@johnstelescopes.com>:
Burt Rutan deserves kudos no matter what anyone says. He was the first to go out and get the investors, do the design, and get this thing done. And when you factor in he only had a 20 man crew, and a small building out in this little airport instead of billions of dollars, government backing, and facilities, it really is incredible. He had the guts, he deserves the glory!

Private funding, no government involvement, or, interference??? Hmmm, there's an idea! ;)
