"... Some guy I've never heard of it has a secret idea ..."
Bert Rutan is one of those Apollo inspired aero-engineers. A product of the 60's space race which inspired people to become pilots, astronauts and engineers. You might not know of his work as a test pilot of the MD F4 [0] but every geek & nerd knows, or should know, he is responsible for the design & building of SpaceShipOne. [1]
Rutan is to commercial space travel what Von Braun was to Apollo.
