and how many of these people have flown?

As of February 2011, Virgin Galactic has accepted over 400 reservations and collected $50 million in deposits.[45]

seems a bit behind schedule but no matter the state of NM and local municipalities taxpayers are on the hook

Sort:  

another strawman
did anyone force the state of NewMexico or the local municipalites to invest?
I'd suspect that it's a high risk investment.
High Risk investments have a high risk of failure..also the possibillity of high rewards.

they shift the risk onto the taxpayers. Politicians are spending other people's money so they tend to be terrible custodians of it.
