Branson is a shy, yet gregarious and likable kook. He actually has good intentions - not just an empty egotism.
It's no wonder that folks wanting to take Scaled Composites work on Spaceship One to a commercial venture, sought out Virgin, rather than the man who even Bill Gates can't stand.

The Finance capitalists, who had 8 years of unbroken rule through their puppet, Bill (Repeal Glass-Stegall) Clinton, lost for the moment.

Conspiracy? Like "moon landing" and "9-11 missile" disinformation?
Hank Paulson was the Director of the Nature Conservancy and of Goldman Sachs. Nothing hidden or hushed about that - except it never hits the presses....

Jean,
We (Mike H) have done a modest amount of work on degree-days for G-S. They now want to extend this. They are involved in dealing in the developing energy futures market.
G-S is the sort of company that we might be looking for a 'strategic alliance' with. I suggest the four of us meet with ?? (forgotten his name) for an hour on the afternoon of Friday 12 June (best guess for Phil & Jean - he needs a date from us). Thanks.

"Despite a growing federal deficit and the widespread economic stability that has swept the U.S since 2008, the companies in question managed to accumulate profits of $164 billion between 2008 and 2010, while receiving combined tax rebates totaling almost $11 billion. Moreover, Public Campaign reports these companies spent about $476 million during the same period to lobby the U.S. Congress, as well as another $22 million on federal campaigns, while in some instances laying off employees and increasing executive compensation."
To keep profits inflated by capturing legislation, favorable to their businesses. Free market, my arsehol3.
To create a global currency - based on trading securitized CO2.
There are no technical or behavioral measures in any proposed treaty. Only carbon trading. How is this accomplished? Always by establishing derivatives. You know, like they did for real estate.
The whole scam is a part of the war for dominance between financial capitalists and energy capitalists.
Enlightened, educated and well-intentioned folk are the useful idiots of speculative, financial capital oligarchy on this one - just as the backwards fundies are the human tools of conservative thuggery.

Actually, you do have a point. Burn less expensive fuel, longer and slowly to get to the outer-edge of the stratosphere. Efficient.

"OOOooh! Am I as cool as Branson, yet!"
Thanks for the strawman/ad hominem.

Bingo.
Where are these moral fibers.
What do they look like? Carbon, or glass?

Work for the US Military and assist in baby killing?
I hear the Mexican drug cartels need good IT support, too. Since morality seems not to be a consideration, I think they pay better.
It takes Russia a longtime to catch up. Now they are finally equal to the US in 2000.

I want to use this thing to finally catch that blowhard McNulty in action!!
This entire story is far more complex and subtle, than the "McNews" cattle-rustle story linked in the original posting.
Read Greenwald, who as usual, digs deeper into the context and background. It is indeed, a story of creeping fascist militarization of the US: http://www.salon.com/2011/12/12/the_growing_menace_of_domestic_drones/singleton/?mobile.html
