Space Mountain

Governor Richardson and Richard Branson, of Virgin Airlines and about a dozen other succcessful businesses, will hold a news conference tomorrow that will put New Mexico into a very unique global position. It has to do with space flight for the masses, or at least for those who can afford it. You can read about it here.

I have always admired Branson. Especially his marketing skills. Imagine naming all of your business Virgin. It has all sorts of implications from purity to lust.

Branson recently announced formation of a new domestic low cost airline service in the United States. I hope he will fly his airline into Albuquerque because I worry that some of our tried and true airlines like Delta may not be around here much longer. We need a little more competition here.
