The article notes that "The Renewable Fuels Association, a trade group for the ethanol industry, said the Treasury guidelines “begin to unlock the door for U.S. ethanol producers and farmers to participate in the emerging market for sustainable aviation fuels." This seems like a great way to...

These companies are simply exploiting a loophole in the FARs which is endangering the public. It is only a matter of time before some terrorist exploits this loophole to cause another 9/11.

Space exploration is best left to the government to do. If all these billionaires keep on cluttering up space satellites will start crashing into the debris.

There is some basis to believe that American Airlines Flight 587 was brought down by a shoe bomb and it was simply covered up by the NTSB.
