  I would rather spend this "cash/gold" on a another piece of land, with a creek, some bluffs, maybe with some open fields for gardening/farming. I am not that curious to see and pay arm and a leg for some rocket .
  
  Give me a large Park somewhere in the woods.

Yeh while most of the folks here are hanging around waiting for spaceships to pick them up Sir Richard goes ahead and builds one himeself (along with some friends).

Sir Richard is a hero and a true 'White Knight'.

I think the whole venture is an amazing showcase of human spirit and adventure. and wish all concerned much success.
