Re: Will Yahoo founders start a New.Space company?

.

If Microsoft will succeed to buy Yahoo, its founders should earn $4 billion cash, so, could they use that money to start (also) a New.Space company?

Re: Will Yahoo founders start a New.Space company?

Yup not an Interplanetary transportation item but from the view of will it happen the resounding NO seems to be in the offering of the bid.

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Yahoo plans to reject Microsoft's takeover bid, saying it 'massively undervalues' the company

more (too crazy to be true) "Free Chat" news...

NASA wants to sell part of KSC lands to "new.space" companies:

that's nearly (or exactly?) what I've suggested (one week BEFORE them) in my "Yahoo to Space" article:

Re: Will Yahoo founders start a New.Space company?

Is my memory playing tricks on me? I seem to recall you saying you didn't use colored text in your posts anymore.

Your articles aren't written that well, and all the colored text makes it hard to read.

And nowhere in your 'article' does it say anything about NASA building a commercial launch pad.


Use what is abundant and build to last

Re: Will Yahoo founders start a New.Space company?

And nowhere in your 'article' does it say anything about NASA building a commercial launch pad.

in my article I suggest Yahoo to buy NASA (or part of it) but the "first step" to "buy" it (or part of it) is that NASA (or part of it) would be "on sale", then, NOW seems that part of NASA will (really) be on sale (or rent) to privates... smile

however, you're right, since I've discussed more about the "privatization of NASA" in other non-free-chat forums and blogs (than here) like this:

http://groups.google.it/group/sci.space … ee89e08c81

and this:
