Post Virgin territory
Check out http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-sc ... 9695.story :

The Virgin Space Ship Enterprise is unveiled. Branson is another D.D. Harriman clone. If we were giving out Heinlein entrepreneurial awards, he'd get several. Way to go.

If we were to present such an award what would we call it? Certainly it couldn't be called a "Heinie" :roll:

We can make it out of poured ferric metal and call it the Swell Old Bob award.

Yep... a Cast Iron S.O.B.!
